"""A class library for the generation of HTML documents.

Each HTML tag type has a supporting class which is responsible for
emitting itself as valid HTML formatted text. An attempt is made to
provide classes for newer HTML 3.0 and proposed tag elements.  An
excellant reference for HTML tag elements can be found at
[Sandia National Labs].  I'll try to keep up with this list. 

The Document class is a container object which acts as a focal point
to populate all the contents of a particular web page. It also can
enforce consistent document formating according to the guidelines from
the [Yale Web Style Manual].

Features include customization of document template graphics / colors
through use of resource files, minimizing the need for modifying or
subclassing from the module source code. Support for tables, frames,
forms (persistant and otherwise) and client-side imagemaps are included.

A newer implementation for the Table support is now included,
TableLite().  In support of this there are new tag classes TD, TH, TR
and Caption.  These class instances can be assembled in any way to
populate the TableLite container object.
