NAME

HTML::TokeParser::Simple::Token - Base class for HTML::TokeParser::Simple tokens.

SYNOPSIS

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;
}
