\subsection{Cells and Containers}\label{cells}
This article describes mechanism used by
\helpref{wxHtmlWinParser}{wxhtmlwinparser} and
\helpref{wxHtmlWindow}{wxhtmlwindow}
to parse and display HTML documents.
\wxheading{Cells}
You can divide any text (or HTML) into small fragments. Let's call these
fragments {\bf cells}. Cell is for example one word, horizontal line, image
or any other part of document. Each cell has width and height (except special
"magic" cells with zero dimensions - e.g. color changers or font changers).
See \helpref{wxHtmlCell}{wxhtmlcell}.
\wxheading{Containers}
Container is kind of cell that may contain sub-cells. Its size depends
on number and sizes of its sub-cells (and also depends on width of window).
See \helpref{wxHtmlContainerCell}{wxhtmlcontainercell},
\helpref{wxHtmlCell::Layout}{wxhtmlcelllayout}.
This image shows you cells\ &\ containers:

\wxheading{Using Containers in Tag Handler}
\helpref{wxHtmlWinParser}{wxhtmlwinparser} provides user-friendly way
of managing containers. It's based on idea of opening and closing containers.
Use \helpref{OpenContainer}{wxhtmlwinparseropencontainer} to open new
container {\it within actually opened container}. This new container is
{\it sub-container} of the old one. (If you want to create new container with
same depth level you can call {\tt CloseContainer(); OpenContainer();}.)
Use \helpref{CloseContaier}{wxhtmlwinparserclosecontainer} to close the
container. This doesn't create new container with same depth level but
it returns "control" to the parent container.
See explanation:
\image{}{cont.bmp}
It's clear there must be same number of calls to
OpenContainer as to CloseContainer...
\wxheading{Example}
This code creates new paragraph (container at same depth level)
with "Hello, world!" :
\begin{verbatim}
m_WParser -> CloseContainer();
c = m_WParser -> OpenContainer();
m_WParser -> AddWord("Hello, ");
m_WParser -> AddWord("world!");
m_WParser -> CloseContainer();
m_WParser -> OpenContainer();
\end{verbatim}
and here is image of the situation:
\image{}{hello.bmp}
You can see that there was opened container before running the code. We closed
it, created our own container, then closed our container and opened
new container. The result was that we had {\it same depth level} after
executing. This is general rule that should be followed by tag handlers :
leave depth level of containers unmodified (in other words, number of
OpenContainer and CloseContainer calls should be same within \helpref{HandleTag}{wxhtmltaghandlerhandletag}'s body).
