Module | REXML::SAX2Listener
In: | rexml/sax2listener.rb

A template for stream parser listeners. Note that the declarations (attlistdecl, elementdecl, etc) are trivially processed; REXML doesn’t yet handle doctype entity declarations, so you have to parse them out yourself.

### Missing methods from SAX2

     ignorable_whitespace

### Methods extending SAX2

`WARNING` These methods are certainly going to change, until DTDs are fully supported. Be aware of this.

     start_document
     end_document
     doctype
     elementdecl
     attlistdecl
     entitydecl
     notationdecl
     cdata
     xmldecl
     comment

### Methods

attlistdecl cdata characters comment doctype elementdecl end_document end_element end_prefix_mapping entitydecl notationdecl processing_instruction progress start_document start_element start_prefix_mapping xmldecl

### Public Instance methods

attlistdecl(element, pairs, contents)

If a doctype includes an ATTLIST declaration, it will cause this method to be called. The content is the declaration itself, unparsed. EG, <!ATTLIST el attr CDATA REQUIRED> will come to this method as "el attr CDATA REQUIRED". This is the same for all of the .*decl methods.

cdata(content)

Called when <![CDATA[ … ]]> is encountered in a document. @p content "…"

                    def characters text
                    end

comment(comment)

Called when a comment is encountered. @p comment The content of the comment

                    def comment comment
                    end

doctype(name, pub_sys, long_name, uri)

Handles a doctype declaration. Any attributes of the doctype which are not supplied will be nil. # EG, <!DOCTYPE me PUBLIC "foo" "bar"> @p name the name of the doctype; EG, "me" @p pub_sys "PUBLIC", "SYSTEM", or nil. EG, "PUBLIC" @p long_name the supplied long name, or nil. EG, "foo" @p uri the uri of the doctype, or nil. EG, "bar"

entitydecl(content)

<!ENTITY …> The argument passed to this method is an array of the entity declaration. It can be in a number of formats, but in general it returns (example, result):

     <!ENTITY % YN '"Yes"'>
     ["%", "YN", "'\"Yes\"'", "\""]
     <!ENTITY % YN 'Yes'>
     ["%", "YN", "'Yes'", "s"]
     <!ENTITY WhatHeSaid "He said %YN;">
     ["WhatHeSaid", "\"He said %YN;\"", "YN"]
     <!ENTITY open-hatch SYSTEM "http://www.textuality.com/boilerplate/OpenHatch.xml">
     ["open-hatch", "SYSTEM", "\"http://www.textuality.com/boilerplate/OpenHatch.xml\""]
     <!ENTITY open-hatch PUBLIC "-//Textuality//TEXT Standard open-hatch boilerplate//EN" "http://www.textuality.com/boilerplate/OpenHatch.xml">
     ["open-hatch", "PUBLIC", "\"-//Textuality//TEXT Standard open-hatch boilerplate//EN\"", "\"http://www.textuality.com/boilerplate/OpenHatch.xml\""]
     <!ENTITY hatch-pic SYSTEM "../grafix/OpenHatch.gif" NDATA gif>
