.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`XML::Handler::Subs\*(C'\fR is a base class for PerlSAX handlers.
\&\f(CW\*(C`XML::Handler::Subs\*(C'\fR is subclassed to implement complete behavior and
to add element-specific handling.
.PP
Each time an element starts, a method by that name prefixed with `s_'
is called with the element to be processed. Each time an element
ends, a method with that name prefixed with `e_' is called. Any
special characters in the element name are replaced by underscores.
.PP
Subclassing XML::Handler::Subs in this way is similar to
XML::Parser's Subs style.
.PP
XML::Handler::Subs maintains a stack of element names,
`\f(CW\*(C`$self\-\*(C'\fR{Names}', and a stack of element nodes, `\f(CW\*(C`$self\-\*(C'\fR{Nodes}>'
that can be used by subclasses. The current element is pushed on the
stacks before calling an element-name start method and popped off the
stacks after calling the element-name end method. The
`\f(CW\*(C`in_element()\*(C'\fR' and `\f(CW\*(C`within_element()\*(C'\fR' calls use these stacks.
.PP
If the subclass implements `\f(CW\*(C`start_document()\*(C'\fR', `\f(CW\*(C`end_document()\*(C'\fR',
`\f(CW\*(C`start_element()\*(C'\fR', and `\f(CW\*(C`end_element()\*(C'\fR', be sure to use
`\f(CW\*(C`SUPER::\*(C'\fR' to call the the superclass methods also. See \fIperlobj\fR\|(1)
for details on \s-1SUPER::. \s0 `\f(CW\*(C`SUPER::start_element()\*(C'\fR' and
`\f(CW\*(C`SUPER::end_element()\*(C'\fR' return 1 if an element-name method is
called, they return 0 if no method was called.
.PP
XML::Handler::Subs does not implement any other PerlSAX handlers.
.PP
XML::Handler::Subs supports the following methods:
.IP "new( \fI\s-1OPTIONS\s0\fR )" 4
.IX Item "new( OPTIONS )"
A basic `\f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR' method. `\f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR' takes a list of key, value
pairs or a hash and creates and returns a hash with those options; the
hash is blessed into the subclass.
.IP "in_element($name)" 4
.IX Item "in_element($name)"
Returns true if `\f(CW$name\fR' is equal to the name of the innermost
currently opened element.
.IP "within_element($name)" 4
.IX Item "within_element($name)"
Returns the number of times the `\f(CW$name\fR' appears in Names.
