One of my friends is doing this tracking Hungarian law modifications: https://github.com/badicsalex/torvenyek

He has tools for parsing them written in Rust: https://github.com/badicsalex/hun_law_rs

and Python: https://github.com/badicsalex/hun_law_py

I'm doing it myself tracking my GitHub star changes: https://github.com/kissgyorgy/my-stars

I built a tracker for German legal acts. I started in January 2022 and once a week, a GitHub Action downloads every published legal act: https://github.com/jandinter/gesetze-im-internet

Parsing the legal acts with the tools you mention looks very interesting! Currently, I simply collect the published XML files whose structure is optimized for laying out the text and not so much for representing a structure of sections and subsections.
