'Should' be *very* useful :-) 'cuz I use it all the time -
what you want to do is test datatypes for strings, also
what is a bit counterintuitive is that you can test a tag
for a string, as in
find <table> "table" ;; beginning of table, set some boolean
;; processing-table: true
OR
find </table> "/table" ;; end of table, set some boolean
;; processing-table: false
and then:
;; untested, incomplete code!
foreach element load/markup some-document[
if all[
tag? element
find element "/table"
][processing-table: false]
if all[
tag? element
find element "table"
][processing-table: true]
if all[
processing-table
string? element][
do-something-with-string
]
]
