Hello,

I'm looking for an easy way to get the keywords of lua. Is it possible to parse this site: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html

It would be nice to have the information in a csv file or something.
Is BlitzMax appropriate? What about a python script?

The alternative is to manually copy paste the docs. But thats not fun...

Based on a rather old post ( http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2000-06/msg00119.html ) you might be better looking up the source.

Otherwise, there's no reason why you can't use BlitzMax - it's not just for writing games :-p
