33     <div class=section id=modules-html-xml>
34     <h3>Modules for HTML and XML</h3>
35    
36     <p id=modules-html>Modules related to HTML and XHTML are as follows:
37     <dl>
38     <dt id=module-whatpm-html><a href="Whatpm/HTML.html"><code>Whatpm::HTML</code></a></dt>
39     <dd>An implementation of HTML5 document and fragment
40     parsing algorithms. It can be used
41     to convert an arbitrary string into a
42     <abbr title="Document Object Model">DOM</abbr>. (See also
43     <a href="#demo-html-parser">demo</a>.)</dd>
44     <dt id=module-whatpm-html-serializer><a href="Whatpm/HTML/Serializer.html"><code>Whatpm::HTML::Serializer</code></a></dt>
45     <dd>An implementation of HTML5 fragment serialization algorithm.
46     (See also <a href="#demo-html-parser">demo</a>.)</dd>
47     <dt><a href="Whatpm/HTMLTable.html"><code>Whatpm::HTMLTable</code></a></dt>
48     <dd>An implementation of the HTML5 table algorithm. It can be
49     used to extract a table structure from a DOM <code>table</code>
50     element node. (See also <a href="#demo-html-table">demo</a>.)</dd>
51     </dl>
52    
53     <p id=modules-xml>The module for <i>tentative</i> XML support is as follow:
54     <dl>
55     <dt><a href="Whatpm/XMLSerializer.html"><code>Whatpm::XMLSerializer</code></a></dt>
56     <dd>A simple XML serializer.</dd>
57     </dl>
58    
59     <p><i>Real</i> XML parser and serializer are currently not available yet.
60    
61     <p id=modules-cc>The module for conformance checking of a DOM tree (i.e.
62     a in-memory representation of a HTML or XML document) is as follows:
63 wakaba 1.1 <dl>
64 wakaba 1.4 <dt><a href="Whatpm/ContentChecker.html"><code>Whatpm::ContentChecker</code></a></dt>
65     <dd>A DOM5 HTML (in-memory representation of a document) conformance
66 wakaba 1.11 checker with a partial support for Atom 1.0. (See also
67     <a href="#demo-html-parser">demo</a>.)</dd>
68 wakaba 1.26 </dl>
69    
70     <p>Currently, conformance checking of HTML/XHTML and Atom documents
71     is supported.
72 wakaba 1.27
73     <p>For these modules, a DOM implementation that supports the manakai's
74     Perl binding<!-- @@ TODO: ref --> is necessary to represent a document
75     in memory. The <a
76     href="http://suika.fam.cx/www/manakai-core/doc/web/">manakai-core</a>
77     package contains such an implementation,
78     <code>Message::DOM::Implementation</code><!-- @@ TODO: ref -->, but it
79     should also be possible to use any other implementation that supports
80     the binding.
