Synopsis

                     s.do_tag(attributes)

X supplies a method with such a name for each tag, with no corresponding end tag, that X wants to process. tag must be in lowercase in the method name, but can be in any mix of cases in the parsed text. SGMLParser’s handle_tag method calls do_ tag as appropriate. attributes is a list of pairs ( name,value ), where name is each attribute’s name, lowercased, and value is the value, processed to resolve entity references and character references and to remove surrounding quotes.
