Board Thread:Lua Help/@comment-4356266-20150608112036

Some time ago I've devised a data structure composed of wikitext/html to compile a database of scenes from the movie Downfall. You can have a look at it here, and the notes section describe the data structure.

It's a bit complicated (and having not seen the script for more than a year I've lost the intuition into how I scripted it) but I used js and jQuery to construct a table out of it (see this page) and populate a navbox. Unfortunately jQuery doesn't run on mobile, and the table can't be reproduced without it.

I'm wondering if there's any intuitive method similar to jQuery's selectors to load and parse the database page so that I can reconstruct the same table using Lua. I'm new to Lua, and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
