I'm quite stuck on getting HXT working to do my xml parsing, can you help me to get started? Even in http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HXT#Getting_started:_Hello_world_examples the basic filter example that's given there in section 6:
import Text.XML.HXT.Core import Text.XML.HXT.DOM.XmlTreeFilter selectAllText :: ArrowXml a => a XmlTree XmlTree selectAllText = deep isXText
fails with the following error message. What could I be doing wrong?
Couldn't match expected type `Data.Tree.NTree.TypeDefs.NTree XNode' with actual type `hxt-8.5.4:Data.Tree.NTree.TypeDefs.NTree hxt-8.5.4:Text.XML.HXT.DOM.TypeDefs.XNode' Expected type: a (Data.Tree.NTree.TypeDefs.NTree XNode) XmlTree Actual type: Text.XML.HXT.DOM.XmlTreeTypes.XmlFilter In the first argument of `deep', namely `isXText' In the expression: deep isXText
On the other hand, perhaps you can suggest something other than HXT - my needs would be taking "heavy" XML's (a lot of little-neccessary structure, but correctly validated), extracting text tokens from it and outputting them with some light tagsoup annotation.

You could try xml-conduit[1] instead. I use it extensively at work. There's an appendix in the Yesod book[2] covering basic usage. Michael [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xml-conduit [2] http://www.yesodweb.com/book/xml-enumerator
