I guess you could do it in XML-documents, that are
inherently more machine-readable than html..
Otherwise, storing title and author in properties would
do the trick for zcatalog..Not exactly what you ask for, but
as close as i can get with my skills..
I guess you could write a pythonmethod to extract title
and author from the html and store them in properties so
that they could be easily indexed..
