Class HtmlTagDesc

    java.lang.Object
      edu.harvard.hul.ois.jhove.module.html.HtmlTagDesc

Direct Known Subclasses:
  HtmlTempTagDesc

    public class HtmlTagDesc

extends java.lang.Object

This class defines the permitted behavior of a particular HTML tag. The full descriptive power of a DTD description isn't implemented here, but content types and sequences of content are implemented.

Constructor Detail

### HtmlTagDesc

    public HtmlTagDesc(java.lang.String name,
                       boolean openTagRequired,
                       boolean closeTagRequired,
                       java.util.List content,
                       java.util.List attributes)

  Constructor for simple case.

  Parameters:
    `name` - Name of the element
    `openTagRequired` - `true` if an opening tag is required
    `closeTagRequired` - `true` if a closing tag is required
    `content` - List of permitted tags. But what do I do when a particular order is required? Null if element is defined at EMPTY.
    `attributes` - List of HtmlAttributeDesc elements enumerating the permitted attributes. May be null, in which case _attributes will be stored as an empty list.

### HtmlTagDesc

    public HtmlTagDesc(java.lang.String name,
                       boolean openTagRequired,
                       boolean closeTagRequired,
                       int[] sequence,
                       java.util.List[] contentArray,
                       java.util.List attributes)

  Constructor for sequenced case.

  Parameters:
    `name` - Name of the element
    `openTagRequired` - `true` if an opening tag is required
    `closeTagRequired` - `true` if a closing tag is required
    `sequence` - Array indicating the sequencing of elements in `content. Must have the same length as `sequence`.`
    `attributes` - List of HtmlAttributeDesc elements enumerating the permitted attributes. May be null, in which case _attributes will be stored as an empty list.

Method Detail

### setExcludedContent

    public void setExcludedContent(java.lang.String[] content)

  Specifies tags which may not be included in this element or in any element nested at any depth within it. Corresponds to the -(content) feature of the DTD.

### excludesTag

    public boolean excludesTag(java.lang.String tag)

  Returns `true` if a given tag is excluded within this element. It is necessary to call this method for each element on the stack to determine if it is excluded.

### setAttributes

    public void setAttributes(java.lang.String[] attributeArray)

  Alternative way of setting the attribute names. This can be used where all the attributes are unrestricted. This will replace any previously set attributes.

### addImplicitContainer

    public void addImplicitContainer(HtmlTagDesc container)

  Provides the object with an array of element tags in which this element can be nested. Only tags for elements with optional opening tags may be listed here.

### matches

    public boolean matches(java.lang.String name)

### isTemp

    public boolean isTemp()

  Reports whether this is a temporary tag descriptor. Returns `false` unless overridden.

### allowsTag

    protected boolean allowsTag(java.lang.String tag,
                                int index,
                                HtmlDocDesc doc)

  Reports whether this element allows a given tag name in its content, at the specified index.

### implicitContainers

    protected java.util.List implicitContainers(java.lang.String tag)

  Reports whether this element can be implicitly nested in an element with a given tag. There may be more than one implicit container for a tag; if the DTD is unambiguous, there should be only one which is permissible in any given context.

### canGetMoreAt

    protected boolean canGetMoreAt(int index,
                                   int elemCount)

  Reports whether additional elements can be matched at the specified content index. The index is assumed to be legal.

### canAdvanceFrom

    protected boolean canAdvanceFrom(int index,
                                     int elemCount)

  Reports whether it's legal to advance to the next content index. The index is assumed to be legal, but the one to which it's trying to advance may not be.

### allowsTag

    protected boolean allowsTag(java.lang.String tag,
                                HtmlDocDesc doc)

  Reports whether this element allows a given tag name in its content. This version should be used only with element descriptors that aren't associated with tags, for determining if a hypothetical implied element could contain the given tag.

### allowsPCData

    protected boolean allowsPCData()

### namedAttDesc

    protected HtmlAttributeDesc namedAttDesc(java.lang.String name)

  Returns the attribute with a given name, or null if no such attribute is defined for the element

### missingRequiredAttributes

    protected java.util.List missingRequiredAttributes(java.util.List names)

  Accepts a list of attribute names, and returns a List of required attribute names which are not present in the parameter list. Returns an empty List if all required attributes are present.

### isCloseTagRequired

    protected boolean isCloseTagRequired()

  Returns true if the closing tag is required

### isContentEmpty

    protected boolean isContentEmpty()

  Returns true if this element has empty content
