Since HTML is very similar to XML, you may use an xml tool to parse your file.
Since your HTML-File is not fully standards compliant, the parser complains about it and the file has either be adapted by hand to be compliant or to be preprocessed prior to the parsing. The <br> is the problematic element. Compliant would be <br/> with a slash within the tag.
So you can do it with an xmlparser like xmlstarlet in three steps:
1. Make the html file compliant by replacing the br-Tags
2. Get the wanted HTML-Element with xmlstarlet
3. suppress unwanted empty lines and leading whitespace in data / xmlstarlet output
