    Classes derived from this handle the @b generic parsing of HTML documents: it
    scans the document and divide it into blocks of tags (where one block consists
    of beginning and ending tag and of text between these two tags).

    It is independent from wxHtmlWindow and can be used as stand-alone parser.

    It uses system of tag handlers to parse the HTML document. Tag handlers
    are not statically shared by all instances but are created for each
    wxHtmlParser instance. The reason is that the handler may contain
    document-specific temporary data used during parsing (e.g. complicated
    structures like tables).

    Typically the user calls only the wxHtmlParser::Parse method.

            List of tags (in same format as GetSupportedTags()'s return value).
            The parser will redirect these tags to handler (until call to PopTagHandler()).

        Example:

        Imagine you want to parse following pseudo-html structure:
        @code
        <myitems>
            <param name="one" value="1">
            <param name="two" value="2">
        </myitems>

        <execute>
            <param program="text.exe">
        </execute>
        @endcode

        It is obvious that you cannot use only one tag handler for \<param\> tag.
        Instead you must use context-sensitive handlers for \<param\> inside \<myitems\>
        and \<param\> inside \<execute\>.
