in reply to HTML module help please?

HTML::Parser is the standard way to go.

Then there are Damian modules.... *sigh* ... that's not about being less-lazy -- that's about being on some really good drugs -- you know, there is no spoon. - flyingmoose

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

    Thanks both of you. I appreciate those links. I now remember I've installed and used HTML::TokeParser in the past as well.

    I'm feeling particularly dumb today obviously, but I'm not seeing any "write whole file back out" in those modules, and I'm not sure about the logic.

    What I obvously need is something like 

    get each tag
if (tag is </h4>){
$just_found_h4_flag = 1;
if tag is p && $just_found_h4_flag == 1
change p to blockquote;
} else {
$just_found_h4_flag = 0.
}

      I've never actually used any HTML parsing module (or any parsing module, for that matter). However, if you SuperSearch, you might be able to find some more info.
