NOTE:
This project is no longer being maintained: it was developed for my masters thesis, which was completed in early 1997. I still, however, welcome any questions or comments that people may have.

iHTML Language Services

HTML Parse Trees

The language markup services provide access to and manipulation of a language module's internal representation of HTML parse trees.

Types

IHMarkup
Synopsis
The language-side representation of an HTML parse tree.
Definition
void* (This is an opaque type that is defined by the language's internal implementation.)
See Also
HTMLNode

This type represents the language-side context on an HTML parse tree. One IHMarkup object may be associated with a singe HTMLNode or a whole tree of nodes; the system keeps track of references on these objects, as trees owned by different IHMarkup objects are put together.

(IHMarkup) markup
A language-side markup object.
Return
nothing.
