Libraries.Data.Formats.DocumentTypeDefinitionElement

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

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)

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)

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

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"

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

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

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

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

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

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")

This action sets the element name to the given text value.

Example Code

use Libraries.Data.Formats
        DocumentTypeDefinitionElement MyDTDElement                  
        MyDTDElement:SetElementName("note")
