NAME

SYNOPSIS

use Alvis::Document::Type;

# Create a new instance
my $t=Alvis::Document::Type->new(defaultType=>'text',
                                 defaultSubType=>'html');
if (!defined($t))
{
   die('Ugh!');
}

my ($doc_type,$doc_sub_type)=$t->guess($doc_text);
if (!(defined($doc_type) && defined($doc_sub_type)))
{
   die("Guess what? " . $t->errmsg()); 
}
