116 * GMarkupParser:
117 * @start_element: Callback to invoke when the opening tag of an element
118 * is seen. The callback's @attribute_names and @attribute_values parameters
119 * are %NULL-terminated.
120 * @end_element: Callback to invoke when the closing tag of an element
121 * is seen. Note that this is also called for empty tags like
122 * `<empty/>`.
123 * @text: Callback to invoke when some text is seen (text is always
124 * inside an element). Note that the text of an element may be spread
125 * over multiple calls of this function. If the
126 * %G_MARKUP_TREAT_CDATA_AS_TEXT flag is set, this function is also
127 * called for the content of CDATA marked sections.
128 * @passthrough: Callback to invoke for comments, processing instructions
129 * and doctype declarations; if you're re-writing the parsed document,
130 * write the passthrough text back out in the same position. If the
131 * %G_MARKUP_TREAT_CDATA_AS_TEXT flag is not set, this function is also
132 * called for CDATA marked sections.
133 * @error: Callback to invoke when an error occurs.
135 * Any of the fields in #GMarkupParser can be %NULL, in which case they
136 * will be ignored. Except for the @error function, any of these callbacks
137 * can set an error; in particular the %G_MARKUP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ELEMENT,
138 * %G_MARKUP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ATTRIBUTE, and %G_MARKUP_ERROR_INVALID_CONTENT
139 * errors are intended to be set from these callbacks. If you set an error
140 * from a callback, g_markup_parse_context_parse() will report that error
141 * back to its caller.
