| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 1 Objects of the HTML::Parser class will recognize markup and |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 2 separate it from plain text (alias data content) in HTML |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 3 documents. |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 4 As different kinds of markup and text are recognized, the |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 5 corresponding event handlers are invoked. |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 6 |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 7 HTML::Parser is not a generic SGML parser. We have tried to |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 8 make it able to deal with the HTML that is actually "out there", |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 9 and it normally parses as closely as possible to the way the |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 10 popular web browsers do it instead of strictly following one |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 11 of the many HTML specifications from W3C. |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 12 Where there is disagreement, there is often an option that |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 13 you can enable to get the official behaviour. |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 14 |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 15 The document to be parsed may be supplied in arbitrary chunks. |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 16 This makes on-the-fly parsing as documents are received from |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 17 the network possible. |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 18 |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 19 If event driven parsing does not feel right for your application, |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 20 you might want to use HTML::PullParser. |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 21 This is an HTML::Parser subclass that allows a more conventional |
| Hans-G?nter@24217 | 22 program structure. |
