class REXML::AttlistDecl
This class needs:
-
Documentation
-
Work! Not all types of attlists are intelligently parsed, so we just
spew back out what we get in. This works, but it would be better if we formatted the output ourselves.
AttlistDecls provide just enough support to allow namespace declarations. If you need some sort of generalized support, or have an interesting idea about how to map the hideous, terrible design of DTD AttlistDecls onto an intuitive Ruby interface, let me know. I'm desperate for anything to make DTDs more palateable.
Attributes
What is this? Got me.
Public Class Methods
Create an AttlistDecl, pulling the information from a Source. Notice that this isn't very convenient; to create an AttlistDecl, you basically have to format it yourself, and then have the initializer parse it. Sorry, but for the foreseeable future, DTD support in REXML is pretty weak on convenience. Have I mentioned how much I hate DTDs?
# File lib/rexml/attlistdecl.rb, line 28 def initialize(source) super() if (source.kind_of? Array) @element_name, @pairs, @contents = *source end end
Public Instance Methods
Access the attlist attribute/value pairs.
value = attlist_decl[ attribute_name ]
# File lib/rexml/attlistdecl.rb, line 37 def [](key) @pairs[key] end
Iterate over the key/value pairs:
attlist_decl.each { |attribute_name, attribute_value| ... }
# File lib/rexml/attlistdecl.rb, line 49 def each(&block) @pairs.each(&block) end
Whether an attlist declaration includes the given attribute definition
if attlist_decl.include? "xmlns:foobar"
# File lib/rexml/attlistdecl.rb, line 43 def include?(key) @pairs.keys.include? key end
# File lib/rexml/attlistdecl.rb, line 58 def node_type :attlistdecl end
Write out exactly what we got in.
# File lib/rexml/attlistdecl.rb, line 54 def write out, indent=-1 out << @contents end
