Pretty printing compiler error messages for the web

[Daniel]

We have a nightly build of our software which produces large amounts
of output (build and test logs) that goes up on the web. The output is
really hard scan for build issues in a web browser since it is all
text with little formatting. As a result it would be quite nice to
have it made prettier, like, for example, the emacs compile mode. I
haven't been able to find any filters to do this though (but perhaps I
just have the wrong key words . Any pointers? Thanks.

You may fetch the web pages (w3m-retrieve), parse and process the
HTML/XML to format it line by line, and put the buffer in
compilation-mode.

You don't necessarily need to format it exactly like gcc errors, since
compilation-mode uses configurable regexps to scan the
errors. (compilation-error-regexp-alist and
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist).
