Or you could read the HTML5 specification which it almost perfectly complies with. That's the whole point of it - it doesn't need to document how it parses HTML, because it parses it per spec, and the same way as almost every modern browser.

How could anyone know to read that? Because you mention it here on perlmonks? The only way to even get a hint that it compiles with some html5 spec is to read the source -- the only mention in the documentation is where "foobar" is not a real HTML element name (as found in the HTML5 spec) -- in short, nowhere in your module documentation do you actually tell anyone go read w3.... for the algorithm
