## com.lowagie.text.html
Class HtmlWriter

    java.lang.Object
      com.lowagie.text.DocWriter
          com.lowagie.text.html.HtmlWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  DocListener, ElementListener, java.util.EventListener

    public class HtmlWriter

extends DocWriter

A `DocWriter` class for HTML.

An `HtmlWriter` can be added as a `DocListener` to a certain `Document` by getting an instance. Every `Element` added to the original `Document` will be written to the `OutputStream` of this `HtmlWriter`.

Example:

>      // creation of the document with a certain size and certain margins
>      Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);
>      try {
>         // this will write HTML to the Standard OutputStream
>         HtmlWriter.getInstance(document, System.out);
>         // this will write HTML to a file called text.html
>         HtmlWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("text.html"));
>         // this will write HTML to for instance the OutputStream of a HttpServletResponse-object
>         HtmlWriter.getInstance(document, response.getOutputStream());
>      }
>      catch(DocumentException de) {
>         System.err.println(de.getMessage());
>      }
>      // this will close the document and all the OutputStreams listening to it
>      document.close();
