HTML::...ruction(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

ok so bestie, gather round: this is HTML::TokeParser::Simple::Token::ProcessInstruction — the Token.pm process instruction class, and yes she's exactly as extra as her name sounds 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( $somefile );

while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
    # This prints all text in an HTML doc (i.e., it strips the HTML)
    next unless $token->is_text;
    print $token->as_is;
}

like, copy that, run it, live your truth 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, Process Instructions? they come from XML, periodt. and honestly that's so handy if you need to parse out PHP and similar things with a parser — that's her whole moment 🫶

ngl though, currently there appear to be some problems with process instructions 😭 not gonna pretend otherwise. the good news? you can override this class if you need finer grained handling of process instructions — go off, customize her, make her yours ✨

also important: is_pi() and is_process_instruction() both return true. both of them. no notes 💚

👑 OVERRIDDEN METHODS 👑

these are the ones she took over, main character style:

• get_token0
• is_pi
• is_process_instruction
• return_token0
