DESCRIPTION

Each HTML tag type has a supporting class which is responsible for emitting itself as valid HTML formatted text. An attempt is made to provide classes for newer HTML 3.0 and proposed tag elements. An excellant reference for HTML tag elements can be found at Sandia National Labs. I'll try to keep up with this list.

The Document class is a container object which acts as a focal point to populate all the contents of a particular web page. It also can enforce consistent document formating according to the guidelines from the Yale Web Style Manual.

Features include customization of document template graphics / colors through use of resource files, minimizing the need for modifying or subclassing from the module source code. Support for tables, frames, forms and client-side imagemaps are included.

A newer implementation for the Table support is now included, TableLite(). In support of this there are new tag classes TD, TH, TR and Caption. These class instances can be assembled in any way to populate the TableLite container object.
