`a_this` : | the "this pointer" of the current instance of CRParser.
`a_media_list` : | out parameter. A linked list of CRString Each CRString is a string that contains a 'medium' declaration part of the successfully parsed 'import' declaration.
`a_import_string` : | out parameter. A string that contains the 'import string". The import string can be either an uri (if it starts with the substring "uri(") or a any other css2 string. Note that *a_import_string must be initially set to NULL or else, this function will return CR_BAD_PARAM_ERROR.
`a_location` : | the location (line, column) where the import has been parsed
Returns : | CR_OK upon sucessfull completion, an error code otherwise.

### cr_parser_parse_media ()

    enum CRStatus       cr_parser_parse_media               (CRParser *a_this);

Parses a 'media' declaration as specified in the css2 spec at appendix D.1:

media ::= @media S* medium [ ',' S* medium ]* '{' S* ruleset* '}' S*

Note that this function calls the required sac handlers during the parsing to notify media productions. See CRDocHandler to know the callback called during @media parsing.

`a_this` : | the "this pointer" of the current instance of CRParser.
Returns : | CR_OK upon successfull completion, an error code otherwise.

### cr_parser_parse_page ()

    enum CRStatus       cr_parser_parse_page                (CRParser *a_this);

Parses '@page' rule as specified in the css2 spec in appendix D.1: page ::= PAGE_SYM S* IDENT? pseudo_page? S* '{' S* declaration [ ';' S* declaration ]* '}' S*

This function also calls the relevant SAC handlers whenever it encounters a construction that must be reported to the calling application.

`a_this` : | the "this pointer" of the current instance of CRParser.
Returns : | CR_OK upon successfull completion, an error code otherwise.

### cr_parser_parse_charset ()

    enum CRStatus       cr_parser_parse_charset             (CRParser *a_this,
                                                             CRString **a_value,
                                                             CRParsingLocation *a_charset_sym_location);

Parses a charset declaration as defined implictly by the css2 spec in appendix D.1: charset ::= CHARSET_SYM S* STRING S* ';'

`a_this` : | the "this pointer" of the current instance of CRParser.
`a_value` : | out parameter. The actual parsed value of the charset declararation. Note that for safety check reasons, *a_value must be set to NULL.
`a_charset_sym_location` : | the parsing location of the charset rule
Returns : | CR_OK upon successfull completion, an error code otherwise.

### cr_parser_parse_font_face ()

    enum CRStatus       cr_parser_parse_font_face           (CRParser *a_this);

Parses the "@font-face" rule specified in the css1 spec in appendix D.1:

font_face ::= FONT_FACE_SYM S* '{' S* declaration [ ';' S* declaration ]* '}' S*

This function will call SAC handlers whenever it is necessary.

`a_this` : | the current instance of CRParser.
Returns : | CR_OK upon successfull completion, an error code otherwise.

### cr_parser_destroy ()

    void                cr_parser_destroy                   (CRParser *a_this);

Destroys the current instance of CRParser.

`a_this` : | the current instance of CRParser to destroy.
