Scrape multiple things a from a single HTML node with custom conversion about scrape-it HOT 3 CLOSED

I think this is similar to #45. How does td:eq(1) work at all in your example? That's going to select the second column, right?

scrapeIt(URI, {
  events: {
    listItem: "table tr"
    data: {
      dates: {
        selector: "td",
        eq: 0,
        convert (v) {
          v = v.split(" ")
          v.startDate = v[0]
          v.endDate = v[1]
          return v
        }
     }
  }
});

Maybe this looks better. I didn't test it.

Right, I meant td:eq(0) in both cases. This is now corrected in the post above.

Indeed, this is a much cleaner solution! At least in those cases where the website puts related data inside the same node. In the cases where it doesn't (e.g. <td> contains a date and possibly flag 'only with invitation'), it forces the programmer to put them into the same JSON tree as well.

Fixed via #76. Thanks, @ComFreek!
