+
+Forces the handler to handle additional tags

+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{handler}{the handler}
+\docparam{tags}{List of tags (in same format as GetSupportedTags's return value). The parser
+will redirect these tags to {\it handler} (until call to \helpref{PopTagHandler}{wxhtmlparserpoptaghandler}). }
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+Imagine you want to parse following pseudo-html structure:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+<myitems>
+ <param name="one" value="1">
+ <param name="two" value="2">
+</myitems>
+
+<execute>
+ <param program="text.exe">
+</execute>
+\end{verbatim}
+
+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>.
+
+This is the prefered solution:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN(MYITEM, "MYITEMS")
+ TAG_HANDLER_PROC(tag)
+ {
+ // ...something...
+
+ m_Parser -> PushTagHandler(this, "PARAM");
+ ParseInner(tag);
+ m_Parser -> PopTagHandler();
+
+ // ...something...
+ }
+TAG_HANDLER_END(MYITEM)
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{wxHtmlParser::PopTagHandler}\label{wxhtmlparserpoptaghandler}
+
+\func{void}{PopTagHandler}{\void}
+
+Restores parser's state before last call to
+\helpref{PushTagHandler}{wxhtmlparserpushtaghandler}.
+
+
+\membersection{wxHtmlParser::SetFS}\label{wxhtmlparsersetfs}
+
+\func{void}{SetFS}{\param{wxFileSystem }{*fs}}
+
+Sets the virtual file system that will be used to request additional
+files. (For example {\tt <IMG>} tag handler requests wxFSFile with the
+image data.)
-Default (wxHtmlParser) behaviour is this :
-First it finds a handler capable of handling this tag and then it calls
-handler's HandleTag method.
