Deprecated. As of Xalan 2.7.1, replaced by the use of `ToXMLSAXHandler`.

public final class ToHTMLSAXHandler
extends ToSAXHandler

This class accepts SAX-like calls, then sends true SAX calls to a wrapped SAX handler. There is optimization done knowing that the ultimate output is HTML. This class is not a public API.

Usage:
  **For internal use only**

                    throws SAXException

  Deprecated.
  Receive notification of character data.

  The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

  The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

  Note that some parsers will report whitespace using the ignorableWhitespace() method rather than this one (validating parsers must do so).

  Parameters:
    `ch` - The characters from the XML document.
    `off` - The start position in the array.
    `len` - The number of characters to read from the array.

  Deprecated.
  Handle a prefix/uri mapping, which is associated with a startElement() that is soon to follow. Need to close any open start tag to make sure than any name space attributes due to this event are associated wih the up comming element, not the current one.
  Parameters:
