mechanize-content¶ ↑

Returns the most important pieces of content on a web page. Finds the best block of text, image and title by analysing the page content.

Usage¶ ↑

Pass in a URL on initialisation and then call the helpers to pull the best content out.

mc = MechanizeContent::Parser.new("http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/19/mag-gets-free-trooper-gear-pack-dlc-next-week/")

mc.best_title

"MAG gets free 'Trooper Gear Pack' DLC next week -- Joystiq"

mc.best_text

"Ten-hut, soldiers! HQ has just sent word that some new gear will be shipping to the front lines of MAG next week, free of charge: the Trooper Gear Pack. In this parcel, we'll finally get access to the Flashbang grenade..."

mc.best_image

"http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/03/580mage302.jpg"

The gem also supports multiple URLs and will find the best content between them. The order in which they are inserted determines priority.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
