Direct Known Subclasses:
HtmlSimpleEntityParser, HtmlSimpleParser
public abstract class AbstractParser extends Object
Abstract class for all translators parsers Parsers are classes used to search for special parts of text (usually html tags) and then to produce AbstractNodes from them. AbstractParser keep information about regular expression that should be used to search for these special parts of text and contain mechanism how to create node from them.
