+ """
+ This class defines a basic tree builder based on Python's built-in
+ HTMLParser. The tree builder knows nothing about tag
+ behavior except for the following:
+
+ You can't close a tag without closing all the tags it encloses.
+ That is, "<foo><bar></foo>" actually means
+ "<foo><bar></bar></foo>".
+
+ [Another possible explanation is "<foo><bar /></foo>", but unless
+ you specify 'bar' in self_closing_tags, this class will never use
+ that explanation.]
+
+ This class is useful for parsing XML or made-up markup languages,
+ or when BeautifulSoup makes an assumption counter to what you were
+ expecting.
+
+
+ HTMLParser will process most bad HTML, and the BeautifulSoup class
+ has some tricks for dealing with some HTML that kills HTMLParser,
+ but Beautiful Soup can nonetheless choke or lose data if your data
+ uses self-closing tags or declarations incorrectly.
+
+ This class uses regexes to sanitize input, avoiding the vast
+ majority of these problems. If the problems don't apply to you,
+ pass in False for markupMassage, and you'll get better
+ performance.
+
+ The default parser massage techniques fix the two most common
+ instances of invalid HTML that choke HTMLParser:
+
+ <br/> (No space between name of closing tag and tag close)
+ <! --Comment--> (Extraneous whitespace in declaration)
+
+ You can pass in a custom list of (RE object, replace method)
+ tuples to get HTMLParserXMLTreeBuilder to scrub your input the way you
+ want.

+ are not really part of the document and which should be parsed
+ as text, not tags. If you want to parse the text as tags, you can
+ always fetch it and parse it explicitly.
+
+ * Tag nesting rules:
+
+ Most tags can't be nested at all. For instance, the occurance of
+ a <p> tag should implicitly close the previous <p> tag.
+
+ <p>Para1<p>Para2
+ should be transformed into:
+ <p>Para1</p><p>Para2
+
+ Some tags can be nested arbitrarily. For instance, the occurance
+ of a <blockquote> tag should _not_ implicitly close the previous
+ <blockquote> tag.
+
+ Alice said: <blockquote>Bob said: <blockquote>Blah
+ should NOT be transformed into:
+ Alice said: <blockquote>Bob said: </blockquote><blockquote>Blah
+
+ Some tags can be nested, but the nesting is reset by the
