PythonÖ®HTMLParser

"""A parser for HTML and XHTML."""
# This file is based on sgmllib.py, but the API is slightly different.
# XXX There should be a way to distinguish between PCDATA (parsed
# character data -- the normal case), RCDATA (replaceable character
# data -- only char and entity references and end tags are special)
# and CDATA (character data -- only end tags are special).
