Writing an error-tollerent HTML/SGML parser takes a long time. Do you have
to do this (ie it is for a school project) or could you use a preexisting
one?
TagSoup is a pretty good parser for bad HTML. See:
http://www.idealliance.org/papers/xml02/dx_xml02/html/abstract/05-06-06.html
TagSoup is in Java, but not every part of a project has to be in the same
language.
