I need to write a simple parser to a sort of Domain Specific Language. It needs to have basic arithmatics with proper operators evaluation order and a syntax to call functions of the underlying environment which can be overloaded.

I am teaching myself to use JavaCC in a hobby project, and have a simple grammar to write a parser for.

Most effective way to parse C-like definition strings?

python method to extract content (excluding navigation) from an HTML page
Of course an HTML page can be parsed using any number of python parsers, but I'm surprised that there don't seem to be any public parsing scripts to extract meaningful content (excluding sidebars, navigation, etc.) from a given HTML doc.
