[Corpora-List] Extracting only editorial content from a HTML page

[Paul Clough]

Hi all,

Another useful reference is the VIPS work from microsoft:

http://research.microsoft.com/research/pubs/view.aspx?tr_id=690

They are segmentating pages based upon visual layout and seem to get good
results. In my own work, I used UNIX lynx with the -dump option which seemed to
work okay (quick and dirty though):

lynx -dump file.html > file.txt

Cheers,

Paul.
