"""Describes a strategy to use when outputting a parse tree to a string.
Some parts of this strategy come from the distinction between
HTML4, HTML5, and XML. Others are configurable by the user.
Formatters are passed in as the `formatter` argument to methods
like `PageElement.encode`. Most people won't need to think about
formatters, and most people who need to think about them can pass
in one of these predefined strings as `formatter` rather than
making a new Formatter object:
For HTML documents:
* 'html' - HTML entity substitution for generic HTML documents. (default)
* 'html5' - HTML entity substitution for HTML5 documents.
* 'minimal' - Only make the substitutions necessary to guarantee
valid HTML.
* None - Do not perform any substitution. This will be faster
but may result in invalid markup.
For XML documents:
* 'html' - Entity substitution for XHTML documents.
* 'minimal' - Only make the substitutions necessary to guarantee
valid XML. (default)
* None - Do not perform any substitution. This will be faster
but may result in invalid markup.
