So, I set sails to transform a bunch of HTML files with D.
This, of course, will happen with the std.xml library.
There is this nice example :

that I put to some use already, however some of the basics seem
to escape me, specially in lines like
xml.onEndTag["author"] = (in Element e) { book.author
= e.text(); };
OK, we're doing some event-base parsing, reacting with a lambda
function on encountering so-and-do tag, à la SAX. (are we ?)
What I don't quite grab is the construct (in Element e) ,
especially the *in* part.
Is it *in* as in http://dlang.org/expression.html#InExpression
? In which case I fail to see what associative array we're
considering.
It's probably more a way to further qualify the argument e were
passing to the λ-function : could someone elaborate on that ?
Of course, it is entirely possible that I completely miss the
point and that I'm overlooking some fundamentals, if so have
mercy and help me find my way back to teh righteous path ;-)

Maybe, when you're on windows, you could use msxml6 through COM.
You have DOM, SAX, Xpath 1.0 and XSLT at your disposal.
