15 * The PageParser is responsible for parsing the page data into an appropriate
16 * {@link com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.Page} object.
17 *
18 * <p>The implementation of this can be switched to parse different kind of data
19 * (<i>e.g.</i> HTML, WML, FOP, images) or for performance enhancements. An
20 * implementation is obtained through the {@link com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.Factory} .</p>
21 *
22 * <p>A single PageParser is reused, therefore the parse() methods need to be thread-safe.</p>
