Function	`formatFailure`	Construct an HTML representation of the given failure.

Class	`_FrameElement`	`_FrameElement` is an `IRenderable` which can render details about one frame from a `Failure`.
Class	`_SourceFragmentElement`	`_SourceFragmentElement` is an `IRenderable` which can render several lines of source code near the line number of a particular frame object.
Class	`_SourceLineElement`	`_SourceLineElement` is an `IRenderable` which can render a single line of source code.
Class	`_StackElement`	`_StackElement` renders an `IRenderable` which can render a list of frames.

def formatFailure(myFailure): (source) ¶

Construct an HTML representation of the given failure.

Consider using FailureElement instead.

Parameters
myFailure:`Failure`	Undocumented
Returns
`bytes`	A string containing the HTML representation of the given failure.

def redirectTo(URL: bytes, request: IRequest) -> bytes: (source) ¶

Generate a redirect to the given location.

Parameters
URL:`bytes`	A `bytes` giving the location to which to redirect.
request:`IRequest` provider	The request object to use to generate the redirect.
Returns
`bytes`	A `bytes` containing HTML which tries to convince the client agent to visit the new location even if it doesn't respect the FOUND response code. This is intended to be returned from a render method, eg: def render_GET(self, request): return redirectTo(b"http://example.com/", request)
Raises
`TypeError`	If the type of `URL` a `str` instead of `bytes`.

Wraps <pre> tags around some text and HTML-escape it.

This is here since once twisted.web.html was deprecated it was hard to migrate the html.PRE from current code to twisted.web.template.

For new code consider using twisted.web.template.

Returns
`str`	Escaped text wrapped in <pre> tags.
