The HTML parser converts HTML to a format we call lhtml, which is a natural encoding of HTML as Lisp lists. lhtml can be converted back into HTML using the htmlgen package that is part of AllegroServe.
This XML parser is a non-validating parser that converts XML into lxml, a format similar to lhtml. For a validating XML parser, see the SAX module which is part of Allegro Common Lisp.
We consider the XML parser included here to be at end of life, and recommend that you look at the SAX module mentioned above.
Steve Jacobson and John Foderaro, with additional work by Steve Haflich, and others at Franz Inc.
The HTML parser works on Allegro Common Lisp versions 5.0.1 and later although if your HTML code includes 16-bit character entities the parser will only be able to represent these characters in the International version of Allegro Common Lisp version 6.0 or later.
The HTML parser and XML parser documentation are included in the repository as phtml.htm and pxml.htm.
