Class MinimalHTMLWriter

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.text.AbstractWriter
javax.swing.text.html.MinimalHTMLWriter
public class MinimalHTMLWriter extends AbstractWriter
MinimalHTMLWriter is a fallback writer used by the HTMLEditorKit to write out HTML for a document that is a not produced by the EditorKit. The format for the document is: 
<html>
  <head>
    <style>
       <!-- list of named styles
        p.normal {
           font-family: SansSerif;
           margin-height: 0;
           font-size: 14
        }
       -->
     </style>
  </head>
  <body>
   <p style=normal>
       Bold, italic, and underline attributes
       of the run are emitted as HTML tags.
       The remaining attributes are emitted as
       part of the style attribute of a <span> tag.
       The syntax is similar to inline styles.
   </p>
  </body>
</html>

  • Method Details

    • write

      public void write() throws IOException, BadLocationException
      Generates HTML output from a StyledDocument.
      Specified by:
      write in class AbstractWriter

      IOException - on any I/O error
      BadLocationException - if pos represents an invalid location within the document.

      protected void writeAttributes(AttributeSet attr) throws IOException
      Writes out all the attributes for the following types: StyleConstants.ParagraphConstants, StyleConstants.CharacterConstants, StyleConstants.FontConstants, StyleConstants.ColorConstants. The attribute name and value are separated by a colon. Each pair is separated by a semicolon.
      Overrides:
      writeAttributes in class AbstractWriter
      Parameters:
      attr - an AttributeSet.
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • text

      Writes out text.
      Overrides:
      text in class AbstractWriter
      Parameters:
      elem - an Element.
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error
      BadLocationException - if pos represents an invalid location within the document.

    • writeStartTag

      protected void writeStartTag(String tag) throws IOException
      Writes out a start tag appropriately indented. Also increments the indent level.
      Parameters:
      tag - a start tag
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

      Parameters:
      endTag - an end tag
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • writeHeader

      protected void writeHeader() throws IOException
      Writes out the <head> and <style> tags, and then invokes writeStyles() to write out all the named styles as the content of the <style> tag. The content is surrounded by valid HTML comment markers to ensure that the document is viewable in applications/browsers that do not support the tag.
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • writeStyles

      protected void writeStyles() throws IOException
      Writes out all the named styles as the content of the <style> tag.
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • writeBody

      protected void writeBody() throws IOException, BadLocationException
      Iterates over the elements in the document and processes elements based on whether they are branch elements or leaf elements. This method specially handles leaf elements that are text.
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error
      BadLocationException - if we are in an invalid location within the document.

    • writeEndParagraph

      protected void writeEndParagraph() throws IOException
      Emits an end tag for a <p> tag. Before writing out the tag, this method ensures that all other tags that have been opened are appropriately closed off.
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • writeStartParagraph

      protected void writeStartParagraph(Element elem) throws IOException
      Emits the start tag for a paragraph. If the paragraph has a named style associated with it, then this method also generates a class attribute for the <p> tag and sets its value to be the name of the style.
      Parameters:
      elem - an element
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • writeLeaf

      protected void writeLeaf(Element elem) throws IOException
      Responsible for writing out other non-text leaf elements.
      Parameters:
      elem - an element
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • writeImage

      protected void writeImage(Element elem) throws IOException
      Responsible for handling Icon Elements; deliberately unimplemented. How to implement this method is an issue of policy. For example, if you're generating an <img> tag, how should you represent the src attribute (the location of the image)? In certain cases it could be a URL, in others it could be read from a stream.
      Parameters:
      elem - an element of type StyleConstants.IconElementName
      Throws:
      IOException - if I/O error occurred.

    • writeComponent

      protected void writeComponent(Element elem) throws IOException
      Responsible for handling Component Elements; deliberately unimplemented. How this method is implemented is a matter of policy.
      Parameters:
      elem - an element of type StyleConstants.ComponentElementName
      Throws:
      IOException - if I/O error occurred.

    • isText

      protected boolean isText(Element elem)
      Returns true if the element is a text element.
      Parameters:
      elem - an element
      Returns:
      true if the element is a text element.

    • writeContent

      protected void writeContent(Element elem, boolean needsIndenting) throws IOException, BadLocationException
      Writes out the attribute set in an HTML-compliant manner.
      Parameters:
      elem - an element
      needsIndenting - indentation will be added if needsIndenting is true
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error
      BadLocationException - if pos represents an invalid location within the document.

    • writeHTMLTags

      protected void writeHTMLTags(AttributeSet attr) throws IOException
      Generates bold <b>, italic <i>, and <u> tags for the text based on its attribute settings.
      Parameters:
      attr - a set of attributes
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • writeNonHTMLAttributes

      protected void writeNonHTMLAttributes(AttributeSet attr) throws IOException
      Writes out the remaining character-level attributes (attributes other than bold, italic, and underline) in an HTML-compliant way. Given that attributes such as font family and font size have no direct mapping to HTML tags, a <span> tag is generated and its style attribute is set to contain the list of remaining attributes just like inline styles.
      Parameters:
      attr - a set of attributes
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • inFontTag

      protected boolean inFontTag()
      Returns true if we are currently in a <font> tag.
      Returns:
      true if we are currently in a <font> tag.

    • endFontTag

      protected void endFontTag() throws IOException
      This is no longer used, instead <span> will be written out.

      Writes out an end tag for the <font> tag.

      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error

    • startFontTag

      protected void startFontTag(String style) throws IOException
      This is no longer used, instead <span> will be written out.

      Writes out a start tag for the <font> tag. Because font tags cannot be nested, this method closes out any enclosing font tag before writing out a new start tag.

      Parameters:
      style - a font style
      Throws:
      IOException - on any I/O error
