HTML::ElementRaw(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     HTML::ElementRaw(3pm)

NAME
HTML::ElementRaw - Perl extension for HTML::Element(3). SYNOPSIS
use HTML::ElementRaw; $er = new HTML::ElementRaw; $text = '<p>I would like this &nbsp; HTML to not be encoded</p>'; $er->push_content($text); $h = new HTML::Element 'h2'; $h->push_content($er); # Now $text will appear as you typed it, non-escaped, # embedded in the HTML produced by $h. print $h->as_HTML; DESCRIPTION
Provides a way to graft raw HTML strings into your HTML::Element(3) structures. Since they represent raw text, these can only be leaves in your HTML element tree. The only methods that are of any real use in this degenerate element are push_content() and as_HTML(). The push_content() method will simply prepend the provided text to the current content. If you happen to pass an HTML::element to push_content, the output of the as_HTML() method in that element will be prepended. REQUIRES
