Nah, it will not be that bad... I hope. I have quite a lot of demo documents which I want to process correctly. I am not even close to beta testing at the moment, it is pre-alpha.

I doubt that you do not inspire anybody, your post are doing that.
This was just prickling my mind. I personally am not part of the flamewar. I do understand the points of both and RegEx is too handy in some occasions not to use it. In this case it prickled me to investigate another route and it looks promising so far, although the documentation is really scarce.
