=head1 NAME

CGI::Pretty - module to produce nicely formatted HTML code

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use CGI::Pretty qw( :html3 );

    # Print a table with a single data element
    print table( TR( td( "foo" ) ) );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CGI::Pretty is a module that derives from CGI.  It's sole function is to
allow users of CGI to output nicely formatted HTML code.

When using the CGI module, the following code:
    print table( TR( td( "foo" ) ) );

produces the following output:
    <TABLE><TR><TD>foo</TD></TR></TABLE>

If a user were to create a table consisting of many rows and many columns,
the resultant HTML code would be quite difficult to read since it has no
carriage returns or indentation.

CGI::Pretty fixes this problem.  What it does is add a carriage
return and indentation to the HTML code so that one can easily read
it.

    print table( TR( td( "foo" ) ) );

now produces the following output:
    <TABLE>
       <TR>
          <TD>
             foo
          </TD>
       </TR>
    </TABLE>


=head2 Tags that won't be formatted

The <A> and <PRE> tags are not formatted.  If these tags were formatted, the
user would see the extra indentation on the web browser causing the page to
look different than what would be expected.  If you wish to add more tags to
the list of tags that are not to be touched, push them onto the C<@AS_IS> array:

    push @CGI::Pretty::AS_IS,qw(CODE XMP);
