HTMLParser.HTMLParser¶

class HTMLParser.HTMLParser[source]¶

Find tags and other markup and call handler functions.

Usage:

p = HTMLParser() p.feed(data) ... p.close()

Start tags are handled by calling self.handle_starttag() or self.handle_startendtag(); end tags by self.handle_endtag(). The data between tags is passed from the parser to the derived class by calling self.handle_data() with the data as argument (the data may be split up in arbitrary chunks). Entity references are passed by calling self.handle_entityref() with the entity reference as the argument. Numeric character references are passed to self.handle_charref() with the string containing the reference as the argument.
