gollark: See those descriptive and convenient classes? `_3o_6`, etc?
gollark: A lovely sample of the nicely-formatted HTML.
gollark: ```<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Dragon Cave - Viewing Egg - (bUNDN)</title><meta property="og:title" content="Egg: (bUNDN)"><meta property="og:url" content="https://dragcave.net/view/bUNDN"><meta property="og:image" content="https://dragcave.net/ogimage/bUNDN"><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="//s.dcave.net/cache/css/a/a1hsdk.css" data-modules="webfont_fq,relicLayout,relicGlobal,relicHeader"><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="//s.dcave.net/cache/css/c/ci6djn.css" data-modules="webfont_FontAwesome,uiIcon,dragonSummary,guestSiteDescription"><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="//s.dcave.net/cache/css/4/4nabog.css" data-modules="commonGlobal"><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="//s.dcave.net/cache/css/5/5bpt3q.css" data-modules="webfont_DCS"><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="//s.dcave.net/cache/css/3/3tm5uf.css" data-modules="tooltip"><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="//s.dcave.net/cache/css/9/9crlwr.css" data-modules="symbols"></head><body><div class="_3p_0"><div class="_3o_6"><h1 class="_3o_1"><a href="/?r=1"><img src="//s.dcave.net/cache/images/b/bvi5yh.png" alt="Dragon Cave"></a></h1><div class="_3o_3">Not logged in · <a href="/help/time" class="_3o_4"><span title="Night: Certain dragons are only available at night." class="_3g_3 _3h_0 _3h_2" id="210d36dfa9"></span> 4:28 am ED```
gollark: It is not, however, good for parsing HTML, but since TJ09 makes DC's HTML output very annoying (no convenient classes/IDs), you kind of have to use something like that.
gollark: Alternatively, downloading the HTML and parsing it via regex, but that's horrible.
