 * [TagSoup for Java](http://tagsoup.info/) - an independently written malformed HTML parser for Java. Including [links to other](http://tagsoup.info/#other) HTML parsers.
 * [HXT: Haskell XML Toolbox](http://www.fh-wedel.de/~si/HXmlToolbox/) - a more comprehensive XML parser, giving the option of using TagSoup as a lexer.
 * [Other Related Work](http://www.fh-wedel.de/~si/HXmlToolbox/#rel) - as described on the HXT pages.
-* [Using TagSoup with Parsec](http://therning.org/magnus/archives/367) - a nice combination of Haskell libraries.
-* [tagsoup-parsec](http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/tagsoup-parsec) - a library for easily using TagSoup as a token type in Parsec.
