[Greasemonkey] Parsing html - another way

[Hrvoje Prgeša]

Since I don't like using iframes or innerHTML for loading and parsing 
html (and I couldn't get it to work for the pages I needed it) I made 
another way to do it:

I made a simple XPCOM object in C++ (50 lines of code) that I can call 
from my extension javascript - it accepts normal html and forwards it to 
"Tidy HTML" library which converts it to XHTML/XML. From there on I can 
use the normal DOMParser or anything else :)

I might work in GM too if you can execute something like this (this 
works in a normal extension - I have no idea how GM works):
const cid = "@mipis.hr/HtmlHelpers/HtmlToXml;1"
var obj = Components.classes[cid].createInstance();
obj = obj.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.IHtmlToXml);
var pureXHtml = obj.convertHtmlToXml(html);

So if anyone is interested...
