generic tags
The html module provides the following generic tags:
| Comment(initvalue) | html comment. Start and end markers will be wrapped automatically around the string passed. For <style> and <script> tags any content passed is automatically wrapped in Comment() tags. Note: passing multiple contents will result in multiple comment blocks |
| Doctype(type="loose", doctype=None) | doctype declaration of type "loose", "strict", "frameset" or a custom doctype |
| PI(initvalue) | a processing instruction. initvalue is anything inside <?...> |
| Raw(initvalue) | raw chunk of html |
| SgmlDecl(initvalue) | sgml declaration. initvalue is anything inside <!...> |
| Text(initvalue) | wrapper for text. The string passed will be automatically escaped. Note: anything other than a HtmlBase subclass passed to any tag it will be automatically wrapped as Text() |
All generic tags are derrived from the following base classes:
| HtmlBase | base class for all tags |
| GenericTagBase | base class for all generic tags |
Generic tags do not provide any methods, instead expose the following attributes:
| name | name of the tag (lowercase, readonly) |
| parent | parent of the tag or None (readonly) |
| value | contents of the tag wich will always be the complete tag |
