HTML::...::HTML4(3pm)

💖 HTML::...::HTML4(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the HTML::Lint::HTML4 page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. this is the vibe: it's the rulebook for HTML 4 that HTML::Lint uses. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

HTML::Lint::HTML4 — the rules for HTML 4, exactly as used by HTML::Lint. periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so basically it's a whole collection of tags and attributes that HTML::Lint uses. and the slay part? you can add your own tags and attributes if you want. your rules, your world 💅

# Add an attribute that your company uses.
HTML::Lint::HTML4::add_attribute( 'body', 'proprietary-attribute' );

# Add the HTML 5 <canvas> tag.
HTML::Lint::HTML4::add_tag( 'canvas' );
HTML::Lint::HTML4::add_attribute( 'canvas', $_ ) for qw( height width );

⚠️ okay this is the important bit: you have to do this before HTML::Lint does any validation. like, no take-backs. and also — heads up — this modifies a global table, it is not on a per-object basis. so it's giving main character energy for the entire package, not just your little corner of it 😭

---

🧚 FUNCTIONS 🧚

these functions are very specifically not exported, so you have to call them with a complete package reference. and honestly? that's on purpose — it's there to remind the programmer that she is monkeying with the entire package. respect the power you're holding, queen 👑

⭐ add_tag( $tag );

adds a tag to the list of tags that HTML::Lint knows about. and if you specify a tag that HTML::Lint already knows about? nothing changes. no drama, no duplicate, just vibes 🌈

HTML::Lint::HTML4::add_tag( 'canvas' );

💜 add_attribute( $tag, $attribute );

adds an attribute to a tag that HTML::Lint already knows about. and the tag must already be known to HTML::Lint — or else this function will literally die. not metaphorically. it will die 💀

HTML::Lint::HTML4::add_attribute( 'canvas', $_ ) for qw( height width );
