I’m working with YQL. I understand how to make a simple query to a web page and select content with xpath.

For example: select * from html where url="http://www.animeclick.it/manga.php?xtit=Ranmaru+XXX" and xpath="/html/body/div/table/tr/td/table/tr/td/div/div/img[contains(@src,'manga')]".

Now, there are limitation in this approach. I can’t make login to the site, can’t repeat different information in the page (I know can make more query or add new xpath expression) and I can’t format output result 

(like inside div this content : 
    "<p> Hello <a src="#"> Boy!</a></p>" ,
    where in this case i need the text "Hello boy")

    How to use YQL OPEN TABLE for this scope!??!

    Please take the time to have a thorough read through the Creating YQL Open Data Tables chapters in the YQL docs.

    In particular, an <execute> block (docs) will enable you to do all of the things that you mentioned above.
