extract news article from web

[Zhang Le]

Thanks for the hint. The xml-rpc service is great, but I want some
general techniques to parse news information in the usual html pages.

Currently I'm looking at a script-based approach found at:

User can write some simple template to extract certain fields from a
web page. Unfortunately, it is not open source, so I can not look
inside the blackbox.:-(
