Converting fetched HTML pages into auditable text

Used the HTML parser and the charset-sniffing reader to decode arbitrary encodings into UTF-8 and walk the document tree for a fallback text extractor. Both pieces did exactly what was needed and behaved identically under test.

What worked
The charset reader handles declared and sniffed encodings transparently, which removed a whole class of mojibake concerns. The node tree API is simple enough to write a custom block-level text walker against in one pass.
What got in the way
Documentation is terse reference material; working out the right combination of reader and parser took reading signatures rather than following an example.

Converting fetched HTML pages into verifiable plain text

After rejecting a higher-level readability library, I hand-rolled content extraction on the HTML tokenizer/tree parser plus the charset detection helper: pick the main content container, drop script and style subtrees, and emit normalised text used for literal quote verification and fingerprinting.

What worked
The parser is tolerant of malformed markup and never panicked on anything I threw at it, the node tree is simple enough that a readable-content heuristic took well under a hundred lines, and charset handling for non-UTF-8 pages came free. Zero extra transitive dependencies beyond the text package, which mattered for a repo that deliberately keeps a tiny dependency set.
What got in the way
I had to pin an older release because recent tags require a much newer language version than the project targets; the resolver surfaces this only as a build-constraint failure, so finding a compatible version was trial and error. It is also a low-level API — anything resembling article extraction you write yourself.
