Before version 1.2, phpDocumentor simply passed html to converters, without much thought, except the adv_htmlentities() function was provided along with a list of allowed html. That list is no longer used, in favor of these classes.

The PDF Converter output looked wretched in version 1.1.0 because line breaks in DocBlocks were honored. This meant that output often had just a few words on every other line! To fix this problem, DocBlock descriptions are now parsed using the ParserDescParser, and split into paragraphs. In addition, html in DocBlocks are parsed into these objects to allow for easy conversion in destination converters. This design also allows different conversion for different templates within a converter, which separates design from logic almost 100%
