phpHtmlLib is a set of PHP classes and library functions to build, debug, |
| 21 |
and render XML, HTML, XHTML, WAP/WML Documents, and SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) |
| 22 |
images as well as complex html 'widgets' for {@link http://www.php.net PHP} 4.1 or better. |

It provides a mechanism to output perfectly indented/readable XML/HTML/XHTML/WML/SVG source, |
| 26 |
and a programmatic API to generating XML/HTML/XHTML/WML/SVG tags and fully compliant documents. |
| 27 |
The API provides a 'phpHtmlLib' standard API for creating documents by using powerfull widgets. |
| 28 |
Every object has an add() method for inserting data, and a render() method for building the output. |
