How to structure HTML text (tags and attributes) for processing in LiveCode?

Not sure how my other reply ended up on the wrong thread! Take two...

Here is a different approach:

If your source is XHTML you can treat it as XML, and go through nodes that way. If it's not XHTML, look at this tool:

You might be able to command-line make HTML be more friendly, then treat it as XML once you've tidied it up.
