README
# C implementation of the Readability algorithm (plus some goodies)
## Dependencies:
- libxml2
- libpcre or ICU for regular expressions support
## Building:
- make
## Building with ICU rather than pcre:
- ICU=1 make
By default, both the readable program and the Python extension
will be built.
## Building for OS X using Xcode
- Create a new directory named readable
- Copy readable.h and readable.c in the newly created directory
- Copy the directory named unicode from the ICU headers into your project
(you can get it from the iPhoneSimulator SDK, under /usr/include/unicode)
- Add the readable parent directory, the unicode parent directory and
/usr/include/libxml2 to Header Search Path under Build Settings
- Add libicucore.dylib and libxml2.xylib to the Link Binary with libraries
Build Phase
- In your code, import readable.h
## Building for iOS using Xcode
- Create a new directory named readable
- Copy readable.h and readable.c in the newly created directory
- Add the readable parent directory and /usr/include/libxml2 to
Header Search Path under Build Settings
- Add libicucore.dylib and libxml2.xylib to the Link Binary with libraries
Build Phase
- In your code, import readable.h
## API:
### char * readable(const char *html, const char *url, const char *encoding, int options)
Parses HTML to extract the interesting contents.
- html: HTML code to parse
- url: URL where this HTML was fetched from
- encoding: HTML encoding
- options: See readable.h for the avaialble options
### char * next_page_url(const char *html, const char *url, const char *encoding);
Returns the url for the next page in a multipage article (pretty much in alpha):
- html: HTML code to parse
- url: URL where this HTML was fetched from
- encoding: HTML encoding
