yea seriously, it's barely better than just parsing through the user-facing wiki page.

Mozilla's CSS selectors crate gets the job done for parsing the stripped-down HTML from the response. However, in my experience it wasn't the most ergonomic to use... stuff like Selector::parse() possibly returning a ParseError, which does not implement Error, so I can't use the ? operator.

now, a problem with the SMT wiki's format specifically is the lack of standardization on the Shadow pages. Given two Shadows that appear in both FES Journey + Answer, for example, there might be a surprising number of inconsistencies in how their information is laid out on the page despite both fitting the same basic template. Check the tests for a whole bunch of examples of this.

finally, a bug that really wound me up was discovering that section headers aren't always spelled correctly. At this point I just assume that any shadow page that isn't parsed properly will have some lovely surprise like that waiting for me
