RE: [Htmlparser-developer] CompositeTagScanner - Some comments

[<dha...@or...>]

Hi,

What I am saying is my understanding of the scanner. Do forgive me if I don't 
understand it correctly.

The MATCH_IDS array is used to "match" the tags that should be parsed by this 
scanner as tags of particular types. i.e. for a OPTION scanner the MATCH_IDS 
tag would have OPTION as its member. This tells the scanning engine that 
whenever OPTION is encountered create an instance of a OptionTag. At the same 
time it has SELECT as a member of the ENDERS array. This means that whenever 
the end tag of SELECT i.e. </SELECT> is encountered, correction to close OPTION 
tag should take place. 

A STARTERS array would be useful to tell the scanner that when a particular 
start tag(say another OPTION tag in this case), as opposed to a end tag denoted 
by ENDERS, is encountered also perform end tag correction. I hope I've been 
able to explain the need more clearly.

STARTERS is actually what MATCH_IDS is for. Why do you want a seperate
STARTERS array ?
