Two implementations of formatter objects are provided in the <a class="reference internal" href="formatter.html#module-formatter" title="formatter: Generic output formatter and device interface."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">formatter</span></tt></a> module; refer to the documentation for that module for information on the formatter interface.</p> <p>The following is a summary of the interface defined by <a class="reference internal" href="sgmllib.html#sgmllib.SGMLParser" title="sgmllib.SGMLParser"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">sgmllib.SGMLParser</span></tt></a>:</p> <ul> <li><p class="first">The interface to feed data to an instance is through the <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">feed()</span></tt> method, which takes a string argument. This can be called with as little or as much text at a time as desired; <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">p.feed(a);</span> <span class="pre">p.feed(b)</span></tt> has the same effect as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">p.feed(a+b)</span></tt>. When the data contains complete HTML markup constructs, these are processed immediately; incomplete constructs are saved in a buffer. To force processing of all unprocessed data, call the <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">close()</span></tt> method.</p> <p>For example, to parse the entire contents of a file, use:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">parser</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">feed</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">open</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">&#39;myfile.html&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">read</span><span class="p">())</span> <span class="n">parser</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">close</span><span class="p">()</span> </pre></div> </div> </li> <li><p class="first">The interface to define semantics for HTML tags is very simple: derive a class and define methods called <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">start_tag()</span></tt>, <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">end_tag()</span></tt>, or <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">do_tag()</span></tt>. The parser will call these at appropriate moments: <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">start_tag()</span></tt> or <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">do_tag()</span></tt> is called when an opening tag of the form <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;tag</span> <span class="pre">...&gt;</span></tt> is encountered; <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">end_tag()</span></tt> is called when a closing tag of the form <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;tag&gt;</span></tt> is encountered. If an opening tag requires a corresponding closing tag, like <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;H1&gt;</span></tt> ... <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;/H1&gt;</span></tt>, the class should define the <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">start_tag()</span></tt> method; if a tag requires no closing tag, like <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;P&gt;</span></tt>, the class should define the <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">do_tag()</span></tt> method.</p> </li> </ul> <p>The module defines a parser class and an exception:</p> <dl class="class"> <dt id="htmllib.HTMLParser"> <em class="property">class </em><tt class="descclassname">htmllib.</tt><tt class="descname">HTMLParser</tt><big>(</big><em>formatter</em><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#htmllib.HTMLParser" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt> <dd><p>This is the basic HTML parser class.
