I know that all these pages follow a certain pattern in their layout. I want to make a small consolidated report of all hp-ux commands listed in these pages with only their, say descriptions, examples etc...

If I have a command which works in a loop on such urls and in each turn return me the page contents, I can filter out sections which I want...

GURLCHECKER(1)						    http://labs.libre-entrepris 					    GURLCHECKER(1)

NAME
gurlchecker - A graphical web link checker that works on a whole site, a single local page or a browser bookmarks file. SYNOPSIS
gurlchecker [-h|--help] [-v|--version] [-u|--http-user user] [-p|--http-passwd password] [-A|--no-urls-args] [URL] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the gurlchecker command. gurlchecker is a graphical web link checker. It searches URLs in a whole site, a single local page or a browser bookmarks page, checking them, one by one, in order to know their validity. Furthermore, it can manage entire projects. OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -h, --help Show summary of options. -v, --version Show version of program. -u, --http-user User name for HTTP Basic Authentication. -p, --http-passwd Password for HTTP Basic Authentication. -A, --no-urls-args Ignore URLs arguments. With this option gurlchecker will systematically remove arguments on URLs. It is useful to avoid nasty infinite loops when arguments are randomly generated, for example. AUTHORS
