The html class library provides a set of classes that may be used to define an html document. The basic unit is an html object which may be any of the following:

hline	A horizontal line
image	An object pointing to an image.
link	A link to another html document
table	A table of containing a grid of objects.
text	A text string

The atomic objects inherit the interface of the html::object class. One or more atomic html objects may be combined to form a compound object. In addition to containing one or more atomic html objects, each compound object carries a list of attributes specific to the compound object. A compound object that is separated from the rest of an html document by a named tag is called a block. Compound objects are themselves objects. The top level compound is defined by the html::document class.
