New code should \fInot\fR use this module, and should really use the HTML::Parser and HTML::TreeBuilder modules directly, instead. .PP The \f(CW\*(C`HTML::Parse\*(C'\fR module provides functions to parse \s-1HTML\s0 documents. There are two functions exported by this module: .ie n .IP "parse_html($html) or parse_html($html, $obj)" 4 .el .IP "parse_html($html) or parse_html($html, \f(CW$obj\fR)" 4 .IX Item "parse_html($html) or parse_html($html, $obj)" This function is really just a synonym for \f(CW$obj\fR\->parse($html) and \f(CW$obj\fR is assumed to be a subclass of \f(CW\*(C`HTML::Parser\*(C'\fR. Refer to HTML::Parser for more documentation. .Sp If \f(CW$obj\fR is not specified, the \f(CW$obj\fR will default to an internally created new \f(CW\*(C`HTML::TreeBuilder\*(C'\fR object configured with \fIstrict_comment()\fR turned on. That class implements a parser that builds (and is) a \s-1HTML\s0 syntax tree with HTML::Element objects as nodes. .Sp The return value from \fIparse_html()\fR is \f(CW$obj\fR. .IP "parse_htmlfile($file, [$obj])" 4 .IX Item "parse_htmlfile($file, [$obj])" Same as \fIparse_html()\fR, but pulls the \s-1HTML\s0 to parse, from the named file. .Sp Returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR if the file could not be opened, or \f(CW$obj\fR otherwise. .PP When a \f(CW\*(C`HTML::TreeBuilder\*(C'\fR object is created, the following variables control how parsing takes place: .ie n .IP "$HTML::Parse::IMPLICIT_TAGS" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$HTML::Parse::IMPLICIT_TAGS\fR" 4 .IX Item "$HTML::Parse::IMPLICIT_TAGS" Setting this variable to true will instruct the parser to try to deduce implicit elements and implicit end tags. If this variable is false you get a parse tree that just reflects the text as it stands. Might be useful for quick & dirty parsing. Default is true. .Sp Implicit elements have the \fIimplicit()\fR attribute set. .ie n .IP "$HTML::Parse::IGNORE_UNKNOWN" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$HTML::Parse::IGNORE_UNKNOWN\fR" 4 .IX Item "$HTML::Parse::IGNORE_UNKNOWN" This variable contols whether unknow tags should be represented as elements in the parse tree. Default is true. .ie n .IP "$HTML::Parse::IGNORE_TEXT" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$HTML::Parse::IGNORE_TEXT\fR" 4 .IX Item "$HTML::Parse::IGNORE_TEXT" Do not represent the text content of elements. This saves space if all you want is to examine the structure of the document. Default is false. .ie n .IP "$HTML::Parse::WARN" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$HTML::Parse::WARN\fR" 4 .IX Item "$HTML::Parse::WARN" Call \fIwarn()\fR with an appropriate message for syntax errors. Default is false. .SH "REMEMBER!" .IX Header "REMEMBER!" HTML::TreeBuilder objects should be explicitly destroyed when you're finished with them.
