 * @end_element: Callback to invoke when the closing tag of an element
 *     is seen. Note that this is also called for empty tags like
 *     `<empty/>`.
 * @text: Callback to invoke when some text is seen (text is always
 *     inside an element). Note that the text of an element may be spread
 *     over multiple calls of this function. If the
 *     %G_MARKUP_TREAT_CDATA_AS_TEXT flag is set, this function is also
 *     called for the content of CDATA marked sections.
 * @passthrough: Callback to invoke for comments, processing instructions
 *     and doctype declarations; if you're re-writing the parsed document,
 *     write the passthrough text back out in the same position. If the
 *     %G_MARKUP_TREAT_CDATA_AS_TEXT flag is not set, this function is also

 * errors are intended to be set from these callbacks. If you set an error
 * from a callback, g_markup_parse_context_parse() will report that error
