Show HN: Xq – command-line XML and HTML beautifier and content extractor
It seems to be a problem with that backing xmlquery library, and I did a quick GitHub topics search and found https://github.com/zzossig/rabbit which claimed to be XPath 3, but then https://github.com/zzossig/rabbit#what-is-not-supported says "lol, namespaces, wat?" so :-(

And lnk=$(curl -s https://www.selfstudys.com$url |grep "PDFFlip" | cut -d '"' -f 6) to lnk=$(curl -s https://www.selfstudys.com$url | pup "div#PDFF attr{source}" ) here pup will print content of source attribute from div tag with id PDFF i dont know that much about html & css so this is what i came up with. but i am sure you can also select class & make list of suburls from them. check out the video from bugswriter on pup or read docs from git hub for more info github link: https://github.com/ericchiang/pup

What monitoring tool do you use or recommend?
jq is pretty amazing. If you are comfortable with its jquery-like CSS selector syntax, then I should also mention a couple similar cli utilities that apply it to HTML: htmlp and pup.

Creating a data scraper as a beginner?
Regex is not a great tool for parsing web pages. Open up a browser dev tools window and select a bit of the page. Right click > copy... XPath expression or CSS selector. A proper web scraping tool will accept either of those. No muss, no fuss. You can even use simple command line tools: xpath or pup

Show HN: A tool like jq, but for parsing HTML
This is HTML to JSON, written in Rust, and there's also pup[1] which I found out about just the other day on HN[2] which uses a very similar syntax (CSS selectors) but outputs HTML and is written in Go.
I can see room for both though it would interesting to have a more detailed comparison to go on (e.g. types of HTML, speed etc).
