Synopsis

                     s.handle_starttag(tag, method, attributes)

Called to handle tags for which X supplies a method start_ tag or do_ tag. tag is the tag string, lowercased. method is the bound method for start_ tag or do_ tag. 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. When X supplies both start_ tag and do_ tag methods, start _tag has precedence and do_ tag is ignored. SGMLParser’s implementation of handle_starttag calls method ( attributes ).
