<p>HTMLParser(self, recover=True, no_network=True, remove_blank_text=False, compact=True, remove_comments=False, remove_pis=False, target=None, encoding=None, schema=None)
The HTML parser.</p>
<p>This parser allows reading HTML into a normal XML tree. By
default, it can read broken (non well-formed) HTML, depending on
the capabilities of libxml2. Use the 'recover' option to switch
this off.</p>
<p>Available boolean keyword arguments:</p>
<ul class="rst-simple">
<li>recover - try hard to parse through broken HTML (default: True)</li>
<li>no_network - prevent network access for related files (default: True)</li>
<li>remove_blank_text - discard empty text nodes</li>
<li>remove_comments - discard comments</li>
<li>remove_pis - discard processing instructions</li>
<li>compact - safe memory for short text content (default: True)</li>
</ul>
<p>Other keyword arguments:</p>
<ul class="rst-simple">
<li>encoding - override the document encoding</li>
<li>target - a parser target object that will receive the parse events</li>
<li>schema - an XMLSchema to validate against</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that you should avoid sharing parsers between threads for performance
reasons.</p>
