  <h4 id="tokenization"><span class="secno">8.2.4 </span><dfn>Tokenization</dfn></h4>

  <p>Implementations must act as if they used the following state
  machine to tokenize HTML. The state machine must start in the
  <a href="#data-state">data state</a>. Most states consume a single character,
  which may have various side-effects, and either switches the state
  machine to a new state to <em>reconsume</em> the same character, or
  switches it to a new state (to consume the next character), or
  repeats the same state (to consume the next character). Some states
  have more complicated behavior and can consume several characters
  before switching to another state. In some cases, the tokenizer
  state is also changed by the tree construction stage.</p>

  <p>The exact behavior of certain states depends on the
  <a href="parsing.html#insertion-mode">insertion mode</a> and the <a href="parsing.html#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
  elements</a>. Certain states also use a <dfn id="temporary-buffer"><var>temporary
  buffer</var></dfn> to track progress.</p>

  <p>The output of the tokenization step is a series of zero or more
  of the following tokens: DOCTYPE, start tag, end tag, comment,
  character, end-of-file. DOCTYPE tokens have a name, a public
  identifier, a system identifier, and a <i>force-quirks
  flag</i>. When a DOCTYPE token is created, its name, public
  identifier, and system identifier must be marked as missing (which
  is a distinct state from the empty string), and the <i>force-quirks
  flag</i> must be set to <i>off</i> (its other state is
  <i>on</i>). Start and end tag tokens have a tag name, a
  <i>self-closing flag</i>, and a list of attributes, each of which
  has a name and a value. When a start or end tag token is created,
  its <i>self-closing flag</i> must be unset (its other state is that
  it be set), and its attributes list must be empty. Comment and
  character tokens have data.</p>

  <p>When a token is emitted, it must immediately be handled by the
  <a href="tree-construction.html#tree-construction">tree construction</a> stage. The tree construction stage
  can affect the state of the tokenization stage, and can insert
  additional characters into the stream. (For example, the
  <code><a href="scripting-1.html#the-script-element">script</a></code> element can result in scripts executing and
  using the <a href="apis-in-html-documents.html#dynamic-markup-insertion">dynamic markup insertion</a> APIs to insert
  characters into the stream being tokenized.)</p>

  <p>An <dfn id="appropriate-end-tag-token">appropriate end tag token</dfn> is an end tag token whose

  appropriate.</p>

  <p>Before each step of the tokenizer, the user agent must first
