Libraries.Data.Formats.DocumentTypeDefinitionElement Documentation
The DocumentTypeDefinitionElement class represents an element that has been parsed from a document type definition.
Example Code
use Libraries.System.File
use Libraries.Data.Formats
// DTD Element example: <!ELEMENT note (to,from,heading,body)>
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetElementName("note")
MyDTDElement:SetCategory("(to,from,heading,body)")
boolean pcdata = MyDTDElement:IsParsedCharacterData() // pcdata will be false
boolean empty = MyDTDElement:IsEmptyElement() // empty will be false
boolean any = MyDTDElement:IsAnyContentElement() // any will be false
boolean children = MyDTDElement:HasChildren() // children will be true

Actions Documentation
Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)
This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.
Example Code
Object o
Object t
integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)
Parameters
- Libraries.Language.Object: The object to compare to.
Return
integer: The Compare result, Smaller, Equal, or Larger.
Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)
This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.
Example Code
use Libraries.Language.Object
use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
Object o
Text t
boolean result = o:Equals(t)
Parameters
- Libraries.Language.Object: The to be compared.
Return
boolean: True if the hash codes are equal and false if they are not equal.
GetChildren()
This action gets the element name.
Example Code
use Libraries.Data.Formats
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetCategory("(to,from,heading,body)")
if MyDTDElement:HasChildren()
text children = MyDTDElement:GetChildren() // children will be (to,from,heading,body)
end
Return
text: The value of the element name.
GetElementName()
This action gets the element name.
Example Code
use Libraries.Data.Formats
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetElementName("note")
text value = MyDTDElement:GetElementName() // value will be "note"
Return
text: The value of the element name.
GetHashCode()
This action gets the hash code for an object.
Example Code
Object o
integer hash = o:GetHashCode()
Return
integer: The integer hash code of the object.
HasChildren()
This action determines if the category of the element has children elements.
Example Code
use Libraries.Data.Formats
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetCategory("(to,from,heading,body)")
boolean value = MyDTDElement:HasChildren() // value will be true
Return
boolean: True if the category of the element has children elements and false if it is not.
IsAnyContentElement()
This action determines if the category of the element is any content.
Example Code
use Libraries.Data.Formats
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetCategory("ANY")
boolean value = MyDTDElement:IsAnyContentElement() // value will be true
Return
boolean: True if the category of the element is any content and false if it is not.
IsEmptyElement()
This action determines if the category of the element is empty.
Example Code
use Libraries.Data.Formats
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetCategory("EMPTY")
boolean value = MyDTDElement:IsEmptyElement() // value will be true
Return
boolean: True if the category of the element is empty and false if it is not.
IsParsedCharacterData()
This action determines if the category of the element is parsed character data.
Example Code
use Libraries.Data.Formats
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetCategory("(#PCDATA)")
boolean value = MyDTDElement:HasParsedCharacterData() // value will be true
Return
boolean: True if the category of the element is parsed character data and false if it is not.
SetCategory(text category)
This action sets the element category to the given text value. It will check to see if the value is empty, any, PCDATA, or a list of children.
Example Code
use Libraries.Data.Formats
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetCategory("(to,from,heading,body)")
// or
MyDTDElement:SetCategory("EMPTY")
Parameters
SetElementName(text name)
This action sets the element name to the given text value.
Example Code
use Libraries.Data.Formats
DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement
MyDTDElement:SetElementName("note")
Parameters
- text name: The value to set the element name to.
