    parsel[0] is a python script in front of the identically named python lib, and extracts parts of the HTML by CSS selector. the advantage of it compared to most similar tools is that you can navigate in the DOM tree up and down to find precisely what you want if the HTML is poorly marked up, or the searched parts are not close to each other.

  • Fontpreview for wayland
    1 project | /r/wayland | 18 Dec 2021
    For example this bash script previews fonts installed in your system. This one uses programs like sxiv, xdotool .There are similiar projects using other programs like ueburzug. These are programs are not compatible with Wayland (natively ofcourse). Is there any alternative for Wayland to preview fonts like that ? Or is it even possible currently ? I would really want to rewrite it for Wayland.

What are some alternatives?
