NAME
       element	-  Information	about  an HTML element needed for
       parsing HTML files

SYNOPSIS
       namespace HTML_Tree {

	   class element {
	   public:
	       enum end_tag_value { forbidden, optional, required };

	       end_tag_value const end_tag;
	       PJL::char_ptr_set   close_tags;
	   };

       }

DESCRIPTION
       An element is a class for containing information about  an
       HTML element needed for parsing HTML files.

   Public Interface
       end_tag_value end_tag
	      Specifies whether this element's end tag is forbid­
	      den, optional, or required.

       PJL::char_ptr_set close_tags
	      For elements whose end tags are not forbidden, this
	      is  a  set of pointers to C-style (null terminated)
	      strings for all elements that either explicitly  or
	      implicity	 end  this  element.  For example, the H1
	      element is ended only by the </H1> tag, but the  LI
	      element  is  ended  by  any one of the <LI>, </LI>,
	      </OL>, or </UL> tags.

SEE ALSO
       Element_Node(3).
