HTML Document Base

Abstract base class for Attachment Types that process HTML-based content, such as HTML documents and HTML-formatted email messages.

Remarks

HTML Document Base provides a foundation for specialized Grooper Attachment Type implementations that extract, process, and expose properties from HTML-based attachments.

Purpose and Role

• Serves as the base for handlers that work with HTML content, including standalone HTML files and HTML-formatted messages (e.g., email).

Integration and Usage

• Enables Grooper to recognize, process, and extract data from HTML attachments in Batch Folders.
• Supports downstream extraction, classification, and export workflows for HTML-based documents and messages.
• Inherited commands from Attachment Type (such as Remove Attachment and Remove PDF Version) are available for managing HTML attachments in batch workflows.

Extensibility

• Extend this base class to implement support for new HTML-based formats or to add custom processing logic for HTML content.
• Override LoadHtmlDocument() to provide format-specific HTML loading and parsing.

Related Concepts

• Batch Folder: The container for documents and attachments in Grooper.
• Attachment Type: The user-facing concept for file type handling, implemented by .
• MIME Type Handling: The mechanism by which Grooper matches files to handlers using extension and MIME type.

For more information, see the documentation for Batch Folder and Attachment Type.

Derived Types

There are 2 implementations of HTML Document Base.

HTML Document	Represents an HTML file attachment type for Batch Folders, enabling HTML-centric processing, parsing, and integration in Grooper.
Mail Message	Represents an attachment type for RFC822 and Outlook mail messages, enabling mail-centric processing, extraction, and integration in Grooper.
