I only half understand what you want. To break things down a bit, what
information are you seeking to get from tinderbox and in what sort of pieces
- text or attributes. Alternatively is there something similar to what you
want online that we could look at to help understand.

In case it's not clear, the technique as before could be any code and not
necessarily HTML.
