SYNOPSIS
$h = new HTML::TreeBuilder;
$h->parse($document);
#...
print $h->as_HTML; # or any other HTML::Element method
DESCRIPTION
This is a parser that builds (and actually itself is) a
HTML syntax tree.
Objects of this class inherit the methods of both
HTML::Parser and HTML::Element. After parsing has taken
place it can be regarded as the syntax tree itself.
The following method all control how parsing takes place.
You can set the attributes by passing a TRUE or FALSE
value as argument.
$p->implicit_tags
Setting this attribute to true will instruct the
parser to try to deduce implicit elements and implicit
end tags. If it 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.
Implicit elements have the implicit() attribute set.
$p->ignore_unknown
This attribute controls whether unknown tags should be
represented as elements in the parse tree. Default is
true.
$p->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.
$p->warn
Call warn() with an appropriate message for syntax
errors. Default is false.
