Stan tags have special attributes that enable the developer to insert hooks in the document for locating data and custom rendering. Stan is a DOM, or Document Object Model, implemented using basic Python types and functions called "flatteners". A flattener is a function that knows how to turn an object of a specific type into something that is closer to an HTML string. Stan differs from the W3C DOM by not being as cumbersome and heavy weight. Since the object model is built using simple python types such as lists, strings, and dictionaries, the API is simpler and constructing a DOM less cumbersome. Stan also makes it convenient to build trees of XML in pure python code. See nevow.stan.Tag for details, and nevow.tags for tag prototypes for all of the XHTML element types.
