Extracting the title and metas, for example.

The dspGuru site currently has about 60 pages, all of which have been created
manually.  I now need to change the style of all the headers and footers.  
Also, in the future, I would like to be able to create new pages without headers
and footers using a standard HTML editor.

To that end, I have been planning to conscript HTMLParser and HTMLGen to build
new pages from "source" pages.  The title and metas of the sources will be
combined with program-generated headers/footers, and the stuff inside the
sources' "<body>" tag (which HTMLGen will receive as "RawText").  The
"HTMLParserEx" class I had posted was a starting point for all that.

(So what's to not figure out? ;-)
