Simple string operations.
If the HTML pages are valid XML already and you just need to transform it  
into another shape, you could use XPath or XSLT.

How about a little bit of spirit of research?

http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=xpath+tutorial&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=xpath+examples&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Remember: XPath only works if the HTML page is well formed. Which  
99.99999999% of all websites aren't.
I did not look for DOM parsers who create a dom tree from incorrect XML  
data. There might be some of them out there. As long as you have a DOM  
tree for your document, XPath helps.

Otherwise, it's manual work.
