hi

in order to this thread: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?44,357524,357666#msg-357666 i would like to add a feature request. it would be cool if you could add the tidy api from http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ for a build in function.

so someone can do: 
select ExtractValue(TIDY(foo.html), '//tr/td[@class="masterdata_value"]') from foo foo;

would be really cool!

thanks 
christian

How to repeat:
download html homepages and try to parse via "ExtractValue"
