92 of beginning and ending tag and of text between these two tags).
93
94 It is independent from wxHtmlWindow and can be used as stand-alone parser.

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