Summary: Section 13.3: htmllib.HTMLParser constructor definition amen

Initial Comment:
Hi,

    In section 13.3, the htmllib.HTMLParser constructor
description says:

    class HTMLParser(formatter)

    I was unable to understand that "formatter"
mentioned above referred to something from section 12.1
("formatter - generic output formatting").
Consequently, I didn't understand how to use the
htmllib.HTMLParser base class until I searched on
google, and found an example at
http://www.tummy.com/python/Examples/showhrefs.txt
(link valid as at 15-May-2003).

    May I suggest adding a cross-reference to section
12.1 in the "See Also: " section of 13.3?

    Regarding how to improve this section, I'm open to
suggestion.

Regards,

Kevin
