How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you

lynxinstalled if you can. orlinkswhich is very similar (and can be used interchangeably forlynxin this particular case, but not in most other cases). There is no way thatawkscript will work withoutlynxorlynx- it was written to work with the output from either of them, not with raw HTML. In case it's not obvious, I was usinglynxas a HTML parser to convert the input from HTML to plain text, so it could be processed withawk.lynxis a very common text mode web browser, and particularly useful for this kind of task because it is very forgiving of broken HTML - as a web browser, it has to be in order to cope with all the truly awful HTML code that millions of sites on the web emit. Most XML & HTML parsers are very strict in what they accept, they expect properly formatted valid XML/HTML and often just won't work with sufficiently broken input.
