VERSION

SYNOPSIS

13         See the documentation for HTML::TreeBuilder
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Disclaimer: This module is provided only for backwards compatibility
17       with earlier versions of this library.  New code should not use this
18       module, and should really use the HTML::Parser and HTML::TreeBuilder
19       modules directly, instead.
20
21       The "HTML::Parse" module provides functions to parse HTML documents.
22       There are two functions exported by this module:
23
24       parse_html($html) or parse_html($html, $obj)
25           This function is really just a synonym for $obj->parse($html) and
26           $obj is assumed to be a subclass of "HTML::Parser".  Refer to
27           HTML::Parser for more documentation.
28
29           If $obj is not specified, the $obj will default to an internally
30           created new "HTML::TreeBuilder" object configured with
31           strict_comment() turned on.  That class implements a parser that
32           builds (and is) a HTML syntax tree with HTML::Element objects as
33           nodes.
34
35           The return value from parse_html() is $obj.
36
37       parse_htmlfile($file, [$obj])
38           Same as parse_html(), but pulls the HTML to parse, from the named
39           file.
40
41           Returns "undef" if the file could not be opened, or $obj otherwise.
42
43       When a "HTML::TreeBuilder" object is created, the following variables
44       control how parsing takes place:
45
46       $HTML::Parse::IMPLICIT_TAGS
47           Setting this variable to true will instruct the parser to try to
48           deduce implicit elements and implicit end tags.  If this variable
49           is false you get a parse tree that just reflects the text as it
50           stands.  Might be useful for quick & dirty parsing.  Default is
51           true.
52
53           Implicit elements have the implicit() attribute set.
54
55       $HTML::Parse::IGNORE_UNKNOWN
56           This variable contols whether unknow tags should be represented as
57           elements in the parse tree.  Default is true.
58
59       $HTML::Parse::IGNORE_TEXT
60           Do not represent the text content of elements.  This saves space if
61           all you want is to examine the structure of the document.  Default
62           is false.
63
64       $HTML::Parse::WARN
65           Call warn() with an appropriate message for syntax errors.  Default
66           is false.
67

REMEMBER!

69       HTML::TreeBuilder objects should be explicitly destroyed when you're
70       finished with them.  See HTML::TreeBuilder.
