1
+ = csteamer (content steamer)
2
+
3
+ * http://github.com/peterc/csteamer
4
+
5
+ == STATUS:
6
+
7
+ CSteamer is RIDICULOUSLY EARLY IN ITS DEVELOPMENT. IT'S LESS THAN 24 HOURS OLD AND NOT EVEN VAGUELY DONE!! The demo below
8
+ will certainly work though ;-)
9
+
10
+ == DESCRIPTION:
11
+
12
+ CSteamer extracts metadata and machine-usable data from otherwise unstructured
13
+ HTML documents.
14
+
15
+ For example, if you have a blog post HTML file, CSteamer should, in theory, be
16
+ able to extract the title, the actual "content", images relating to the
17
+ content, look up Delicious tags, and analyze for keywords.
18
+
19
+ == SYNOPSIS:
20
+
21
+ * Basic demo:
22
+
23
+ require 'open-uri'
24
+ require 'csteamer'
25
+ doc = CSteamer::Document.new(open('http://www.rubyinside.com/cramp-asychronous-event-driven-ruby-web-app-framework-2928.html'))
26
+ doc.title # => "Cramp: Asychronous Event-Driven Ruby Web App Framework"
27
+ doc.author # => "Peter Cooper"
28
+ doc.lede # => "CoffeeScript (GitHub repo) is a new programming language with a pure Ruby compiler. Creator Jeremy Ashkenas calls it "JavaScript's less ostentatious kid brother" - mostly because it compiles into JavaScript and shares most of the same constructs, but with a different, tighter syntax."
29
+
30
+ == Note on Patches/Pull Requests
31
+
32
+ * Fork the project.
33
+ * Make your feature addition or bug fix.
34
+ * Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
35
+ future version unintentionally.
36
+ * Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
37
+ * Send me a pull request.

+ <p><b>A UK charity is dealing with an increasing number of young gay Muslims becoming homeless after fleeing forced marriages and so-called honour violence.</b></p><p>During a weekly drop-in group held by the Albert Kennedy Trust in London, Suni, a 20-year-old London student, helps himself to a warm mince pie and a steaming cup of coffee. </p><p>In 2008, during a holiday to Pakistan to visit relatives, his parents suspected the truth about his sexuality. They believed marriage would &quot;cure&quot; him of what they considered to be a psychological disorder. </p><p><b>Name 'blackened'</b></p><p>&quot;They told me I'm going to be forced into marriage and they're looking for a girl and I'll be married in two to three months and I won't be able to come back to London,&quot; Suni said. </p><p>When he refused, he was imprisoned in his family's ancestral home in a remote village of Pakistan and subjected to regular beatings and abuse as he had brought &quot;shame&quot; on the strict Muslim family. </p><p></p>

I think I'd be vulnerable if people knew about me. </p><p>&quot;I've heard a lot of remarks in the past about people saying that gay people should die for religious reasons.&quot; </p><p><b>Police protection</b></p><p>A special government unit tackles the issue of forced marriages. Every year it deals with around 1,600 cases of forced marriage. Three-quarters of all calls are from people of South Asian origin. </p><p>Department head Olaf Henricson-Bell said gay and lesbian youngsters were particularly vulnerable. </p><p>&quot;A few weeks ago, an individual got in touch with the unit to say he'd been taken to Pakistan, forced to marry against his will, brought back to the UK then denounced by both his new wife and his family for his sexuality. </p><p>&quot;He'd been subject to physical and other abuse. When he rang us he was scared to leave the home and we had to secure police protection. </p><p>&quot;Forced marriage by its nature is an underground practice and the cases often go unreported. </p><p>&quot;The individuals involved may be reluctant to mention sexuality when they ring us or when they bring their case to the attention of the authorities,&quot; he said. </p><p>The unit plans to work with the trust to produce a training programme for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender organisations working with young people at risk of being forced into marriage. </p><p><b>You can hear more at 1230 and 1800 BST on the BBC's </b>
