I put OPTION tag as an example probably a wrong one. 

Say something like this is there:

<P> blah blah blah
<TABLE>

Now what I am saying that in the P scanner, if TABLE is provided as a member of 
the STARTERS array then a </P> will be put up before the beginning of <TABLE> 
tag. In essence the way the ENDERS array looks for a tag of type EndTag, 
similarly STARTERS array would look for a start tag of the type defined.

I hope I've been clearer. Do let me know.
