An API for the HTML Spec itself? Or easy way to scrape the Spec?

Question

Does anyone know of an API or an easy way to get information about the HTML spec itself? I'd like to create something that listed all of the current current elements and their specific attributes, etc.

The only way I know is if I pulled the source of the spec and manually scraped through it, which would be incredibly tedious.

Please let me know if you know of any easier ways.

I'm searching the same. Apparently there is no such a thing as a html5 DTD. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4053917/where-is-the-html5-document-type-definition https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5638366/is-there-an-xhtml-xsd-equivalent-available-for-html5 — Eugenio, Mar 14 '18 at 17:22

Use the DTD.

Example: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html
