ANNC: Stapler for Radio UserLand 1.2.0
Yesterday I released version 1.2.0 of Stapler, a Radio UserLand tool for
scraping feeds from web sites:
http://markpasc.home.mindspring.com/code/stapler/
Stapler creates web syndication feeds from sources you select, scraped
hourly (or every N hours, variable for each source) from web sites or
content internal to Radio. Flexible scripts for scraping with selectors
based on CSS's and with regular expressions are included, as well as two
special purpose scrapers, but Stapler is expandable with your own scraping
scripts in Radio's UserTalk language. Stapler features a full tool website
compliant with web standards, for browser-based configuration and
documentation. Stapler is made available under a BSD license.
New in 1.2.0, 29 September 2001: Feeds can be published in RSS 0.91, RSS
0.92, or any document formats you add; feeds have "View Feed" pages; a
Weather Underground scraper; feed "never scanned" bug fixed; more control
options for scraping sources.
