1\subsection{Cells and Containers}\label{cells}
2
3This article describes mechanism used by
4\helpref{wxHtmlWinParser}{wxhtmlwinparser} and
5\helpref{wxHtmlWindow}{wxhtmlwindow} to parse and display HTML documents.
6
7\wxheading{Cells}
8
9You can divide any text (or HTML) into small fragments. Let's call these
10fragments {\bf cells}. Cell is for example one word, horizontal line, image
11or any other part of document. Each cell has width and height (except special
12"magic" cells with zero dimensions - e.g. colour changers or font changers).
13
14See \helpref{wxHtmlCell}{wxhtmlcell}.
15
16\wxheading{Containers}
17
18Container is kind of cell that may contain sub-cells. Its size depends
19on number and sizes of its sub-cells (and also depends on width of window).

21See \helpref{wxHtmlContainerCell}{wxhtmlcontainercell},
22\helpref{wxHtmlCell::Layout}{wxhtmlcelllayout}.

30\wxheading{Using Containers in Tag Handler}
31
32\helpref{wxHtmlWinParser}{wxhtmlwinparser} provides a user-friendly way
33of managing containers. It is based on the idea of opening and closing containers.
34
35Use \helpref{OpenContainer}{wxhtmlwinparseropencontainer} to open new
36a container {\it within an already opened container}. This new container is a
37{\it sub-container} of the old one. (If you want to create a new container with
38the same depth level you can call {\tt CloseContainer(); OpenContainer();}.)
39
40Use \helpref{CloseContainer}{wxhtmlwinparserclosecontainer} to close the
41container. This doesn't create a new container with same depth level but
42it returns "control" to the parent container.

50It is clear there must be same number of calls to
51OpenContainer as to CloseContainer...
52
53\wxheading{Example}
54
55This code creates a new paragraph (container at same depth level)
56with "Hello, world!":
57
58\begin{verbatim}
59m_WParser -> CloseContainer();
60c = m_WParser -> OpenContainer();
61
62m_WParser -> AddWord("Hello, ");
63m_WParser -> AddWord("world!");
64
65m_WParser -> CloseContainer();
66m_WParser -> OpenContainer();
67\end{verbatim}

71and here is image of the situation:

76You can see that there was opened container before running the code. We closed
77it, created our own container, then closed our container and opened
78new container. The result was that we had {\it same depth level} after
79executing. This is general rule that should be followed by tag handlers:
80leave depth level of containers unmodified (in other words, number of
81OpenContainer and CloseContainer calls should be same within \helpref{HandleTag}{wxhtmltaghandlerhandletag}'s body).
