That's easy to test:

run emacs24

Enter

M-x describe-function libxml-parse-html-region

to see whether the function is defined.

The output should look like:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
libxml-parse-html-region is a built-in function in `C source code'.

(libxml-parse-html-region START END &optional BASE-URL)

Parse the region as an HTML document and return the parse tree.
If BASE-URL is non-nil, it is used to expand relative URLs.
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
