Augmenting enlive

2014-05-16

In manipulating HTML documents for features, I find myself needing to use some operations all the time - removing script tags, comments and the like. This feature-set is available in HtmlCleaner and I thus merged the two libraries to produce enlive-helper.

Now you can do:

1
2
3

(html-resource-steroids 
 (java.io.StringReader. "<html><body><a>hi</a></body></html>") 
 :prune-tags "a")

And as a result the a tag is not picked up:

({:tag :html,
  :attrs nil,
  :content
  ("\n"
   {:tag :head, :attrs nil, :content nil}
   "\n"
   {:tag :body, :attrs nil, :content nil})})

The options you can pass mirror those of HtmlCleaner. Full docs available in this github repo.

Also, the code is something I threw together from my research so it is released under Matt Might’s CRAPL license.
