Enclosing class:

public static class HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback extends Object
The result of parsing drives these callback methods. The open and close actions should be balanced. The `flush` method will be the last method called, to give the receiver a chance to flush any pending data into the document.

Refer to DocumentParser, the default parser used, for further information on the contents of the AttributeSets, the positions, and other info.

- ## Method Details

  - ### flush

    public void flush() throws BadLocationException
    The last method called on the reader. It allows any pending changes to be flushed into the document. Since this is currently loading synchronously, the entire set of changes are pushed in at this point.
    Throws:
      `BadLocationException` - if the given position does not represent a valid location in the associated document.

  - ### handleText

    public void handleText(char[] data, int pos)
    Called by the parser to indicate a block of text was encountered.
    Parameters:
      `data` - a data
      `pos` - a position

  - ### handleComment

    public void handleComment(char[] data, int pos)
    Called by the parser to indicate a block of comment was encountered.
    Parameters:
      `data` - a data
      `pos` - a position

  - ### handleStartTag

    public void handleStartTag(HTML.Tag t, MutableAttributeSet a, int pos)
    Callback from the parser. Route to the appropriate handler for the tag.
    Parameters:
      `t` - an HTML tag
      `a` - a set of attributes
      `pos` - a position

  - ### handleEndTag

    public void handleEndTag(HTML.Tag t, int pos)
    Callback from the parser. Route to the appropriate handler for the tag.
    Parameters:
      `t` - an HTML tag
      `pos` - a position

  - ### handleSimpleTag

    public void handleSimpleTag(HTML.Tag t, MutableAttributeSet a, int pos)
    Callback from the parser. Route to the appropriate handler for the tag.
    Parameters:
      `t` - an HTML tag
      `a` - a set of attributes
      `pos` - a position

  - ### handleError

    public void handleError(String errorMsg, int pos)

      `pos` - a position

  - ### handleEndOfLineString

    public void handleEndOfLineString(String eol)
    This is invoked after the stream has been parsed, but before `flush`. `eol` will be one of \n, \r or \r\n, which ever is encountered the most in parsing the stream.
    Parameters:
      `eol` - value of eol
