HTML::O...:Unknown(3)

💫 HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Unknown — the manpage, but make it cute

Ok so bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation for HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Unknown — yes the title gets truncated to HTML::O...:Unknown(3) when it's being dramatic in the header, that's just a display thing, the full name is right there 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Unknown — the HTML Object DOM Unknown Element Class. That's it, that's the name, no cap 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's how you actually use it, literally copy-paste:

use HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Unknown;
my $unknown = HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Unknown->new ||
    die( HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Unknown->error, "\n" );

The || is doing main character work — if new fails it dies and prints the error, plus a newline 🫶

🦋 VERSION 🦋

v0.2.0

Version v0.2.0. Iconic.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So the "Unknown" element interface represents an invalid HTML element 😭 and it derives from the HTML Element interface…

but — and this is the whole vibe — without implementing any additional properties or methods. It's giving minimalist. It's giving "I'm here but I'm not adding anything." Lowkey respectful.

👑 INHERITANCE 👑

The whole family tree, bestie. Read it left to right, each one inherits from the one before:

+-----------------------+     +---------------------------+     +-------------------------+     +----------------------------+     +-------------------------------------+
| HTML::Object::Element | --> | HTML::Object::EventTarget | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Node | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Element | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Unknown |
+-----------------------+     +---------------------------+     +-------------------------+     +----------------------------+     +-------------------------------------+

So: HTML::Object::Element ➡️ HTML::Object::EventTarget ➡️ HTML::Object::DOM::Node ➡️ HTML::Object::DOM::Element ➡️ HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Unknown. Periodt 💅

🧚 PROPERTIES 🧚

Inherits properties from its parent HTML::Object::DOM::Element. That's the whole list. Nothing extra, nothing hidden, we love a clean inheritance chain 🍓

🌈 METHODS 🌈

Inherits methods from its parent HTML::Object::DOM::Element. Same energy. No new methods, no surprises — the parent's got it all 💜
