     92      Instances cleans the document of each of the possible offending
     93      elements.  The cleaning is controlled by attributes; you can
     94      override attributes in a subclass, or set them in the constructor.
     95
     96      ``scripts``:
     97          Removes any ``<script>`` tags.
     98
     99      ``javascript``:
    100          Removes any Javascript, like an ``onclick`` attribute. Also removes stylesheets
    101          as they could contain Javascript.
    102
    103      ``comments``:
    104          Removes any comments.
    105
    106      ``style``:
    107          Removes any style tags or attributes.
    108
    109      ``links``:
    110          Removes any ``<link>`` tags
    111
    112      ``meta``:
    113          Removes any ``<meta>`` tags
    114
    115      ``page_structure``:
    116          Structural parts of a page: ``<head>``, ``<html>``, ``<title>``.
    117
    118      ``processing_instructions``:
    119          Removes any processing instructions.
    120
    121      ``embedded``:
    122          Removes any embedded objects (flash, iframes)
    123
    124      ``frames``:
    125          Removes any frame-related tags
    126
    127      ``forms``:
    128          Removes any form tags
    129
    130      ``annoying_tags``:
    131          Tags that aren't *wrong*, but are annoying.  ``<blink>`` and ``<marquee>``
    132
    133      ``remove_tags``:
    134          A list of tags to remove.  Only the tags will be removed,
    135          their content will get pulled up into the parent tag.
    136
    137      ``kill_tags``:
    138          A list of tags to kill.  Killing also removes the tag's content,
    139          i.e. the whole subtree, not just the tag itself.
    140
    141      ``allow_tags``:
    142          A list of tags to include (default include all).
    143
    144      ``remove_unknown_tags``:
    145          Remove any tags that aren't standard parts of HTML.
    146
    147      ``safe_attrs_only``:
    148          If true, only include 'safe' attributes (specifically the list
    149          from the feedparser HTML sanitisation web site).
    150
    151      ``safe_attrs``:
    152          A set of attribute names to override the default list of attributes
    153          considered 'safe' (when safe_attrs_only=True).
    154
    155      ``add_nofollow``:
    156          If true, then any <a> tags will have ``rel="nofollow"`` added to them.
    157
    158      ``host_whitelist``:
    159          A list or set of hosts that you can use for embedded content
    160          (for content like ``<object>``, ``<link rel="stylesheet">``, etc).
    161          You can also implement/override the method
    162          ``allow_embedded_url(el, url)`` or ``allow_element(el)`` to
    163          implement more complex rules for what can be embedded.
    164          Anything that passes this test will be shown, regardless of
    165          the value of (for instance) ``embedded``.
    166
    167          Note that this parameter might not work as intended if you do not
    168          make the links absolute before doing the cleaning.
    169
    170          Note that you may also need to set ``whitelist_tags``.
    171
    172      ``whitelist_tags``:
    173          A set of tags that can be included with ``host_whitelist``.
    174          The default is ``iframe`` and ``embed``; you may wish to
    175          include other tags like ``script``, or you may want to
    176          implement ``allow_embedded_url`` for more control.  Set to None to
    177          include all tags.
