                Modified 2005 Lars (L505)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  - Modified for use as a pure command line unit (no dialogs) for freepascal.
  - Also added UPPERCASE tags so that when you check for <font> it returns all
    tags like <FONT> and <FoNt> and <font>

 Use it for what reasons:
    -make your own web browsers,
    -make your own text copies of web pages for caching purposes
    -Grab content from websites -without- using regular expressions
    -Seems to be MUCH MUCH FASTER than regular expressions, as it is after all
     a true parser
    -convert website tables into spreadsheets (parse <TD> and <TR>, turn in to
     CSV or similar)
    -convert websites into text files (parse all text, and tags <BR> <P> )
    -convert website tables into CSV/Database (<parse <TD> and <TR>)
    -find certain info from a web page.. i.e. all the bold text or hyperlinks in
     a page.
    -Parse websites remotely from a CGI app using something like Sockets or
     Synapse and SynWrap to first get the HTML site. This would allow you to
     dynamically parse info from websites and display data on your site in real
     time.
    -HTML editor.. WYSIWYG or a partial WYSIWYG editor. Ambitious, but possible.
    -HTML property editor. Not completely wysiwyg but ability to edit proprties
     of tags. Work would need to be done to parse each property in a tag.

 HISTORY:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 0.1     -  James:
             Initial Development
             mostly based on Peter Irlam works & ideas

 0.2     -  James:
             Some minor bug has fixed

 0.3     -  James:
             Some jsHTMLUtil function bug has been fixed

 0.4     -  James:
             jsHTMLUtil Tag Attributes bug has been fixed
             thanks to Dmitry [[email protected]]

 0.4L.1a -  L505:
             Made unit work with freepascal, added UPCASE (case insensitive)
             exec function

 0.4L.1b -  L505:
             Changed case insensitive version to a new class instead of
             the old ExecUpcase

                                                                                                                                                          //
