Parsing

Through the various settings the way publications look can be very heavily influenced. And for instance for web publishing even a dedicated profile can be established for this. But still a race's web designer may want to do an even deeper integration of publications into its web site.

Someone may want to parse for parts of publications that are of interest. Parsing is the automated process in which the raw publication document files are being scanned for parts that can be recognized as useful for extraction for a certain function. E.g. you may want to automatically extract the top ten-ranked competitors from the general classification, or extract just the table with arrivals, without any header or footer information.

Specifically for this purpose tags are added to the publication document HTML files that can easily be scanned for.

The tages are available as HTML comments, of the following form:

<!-- [tagname]:begin --> ... <!-- [tagname]:end -->

The comment indicated by [tagname] can be found between the two corresponding begin and end tags.

The following tag names can exist in StageRace documents:
