HTML input

[klothe]

I have an application that needs to import HTML tables, and already uses Tablib for some other data formats. I noticed that Tablib supports HTML tables as an output format only. (https://github.com/kennethreitz/tablib/blob/master/tablib/formats/_html.py)

Is there any interest in adding HTML as an input format?

If this were implemented with an HTML parsing library such as BeautifulSoup, would a copy of that library have to be added to tablib/packages?

@klothe, you may want to use the library rows for this kind of task. :)

@turicas thanks, that would be a good option if I didn't have a lot of code written on top of Tablib already.

I'll go ahead and add HTML input unless anyone objects.
