Is this HTML you wrote?  The reason I ask is that if the HTML conforms to
the XHTML spec (which doesn't take a whole lot of work), you should be able
to use XML tools to parse the code.  Depending on your needs, you could use
DOM or SAX.  If you are grabbing HTML off the Net, I don't know of any
tools other than Tidy to massage the code into an acceptable XHTML format.
