The HtmlFormatter project is used a few (not that many) places: https://codesearch.wmflabs.org/deployed/?q=use%20HtmlFormatter%5C%5C&i=nope It is build on libxml and xpath with a bunch of hacks to avoid bugs. We should rebase this on Remex (to parse HTML) and zest.php (to match selectors). This will allow us to reduce our dependence on libxml, increase code coverage and usage of Remex, improve corner case parsing of HTML and selectors, and generally put our eggs in fewer baskets.
