OP was looking for a way to parse out part of the file and apply classes to certain types of tags. Using lynx/links wouldn't help, since the output of links or lynx is going to end up as plain text and the desire isn't to strip all the formatting. Someone else mentioned lxml but as I understand it lxml will only work if it's valid XHTML that they're working with. Assuming it's not (since real-world HTML almost never is), perhaps BeautifulSoup will fare better. http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/documentation.html -Jay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
