Visual Web Information Extraction with Lixto*

Summary: Visual, interactive wrapper generation for web information extraction with Lixto enables semi-automatic HTML-to-XML translation. Internally, Elog, a declarative language, drives extraction; users need not know Elog or HTML, as Lixto yields an XML-Companion for changing pages. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
