HTMLWriter
takes a DOM4J tree and formats it to a stream as
HTML. This formatter is similar to XMLWriter but it outputs the text of CDATA
and Entity sections rather than the serialised format as in XML, it has an
XHTML mode, it retains whitespace in certain elements such as <PRE>,
and it supports certain elements which have no corresponding close tag such
as for <BR> and <P>.
The OutputFormat passed in to the constructor is checked for isXHTML() and
isExpandEmptyElements(). See OutputFormat
for details.
Here are the rules for this class based on an OutputFormat, "format",
passed in to the constructor:
getOmitElementCloseSet
, then it is treated specially:
format.isXHTML()
, then
it has a space before the closing single-tag slash, since Netscape 4.x-
treats this: <HR /> as an element named "HR" with an attribute named
"/", but that's better than when it refuses to recognize this: <hr/>
which it thinks is an element named "HR/".format.isXHTML()
, all
elements must have either a close element, or be a closed single tag.format.isExpandEmptyElements()
() is true, all elements are expanded except
as above.
If isXHTML == true, CDATA sections look like this:
<myelement><![CDATA[My data]]></myelement>Otherwise, they look like this:
<myelement>My data</myelement>
Basically, OutputFormat.isXHTML()
==
true
will produce valid XML, while format.isExpandEmptyElements()
determines whether empty elements are
expanded if isXHTML is true, excepting the special HTML single tags.
Also, HTMLWriter handles tags whose contents should be preformatted, that is, whitespace-preserved. By default, this set includes the tags <PRE>, <SCRIPT>, <STYLE>, and <TEXTAREA>, case insensitively. It does not include <IFRAME>. Other tags, such as <CODE>, <KBD>, <TT>, <VAR>, are usually rendered in a different font in most browsers, but don't preserve whitespace, so they also don't appear in the default list. HTML Comments are always whitespace-preserved. However, the parser you use may store comments with linefeed-only text nodes (\n) even if your platform uses another line.separator character, and HTMLWriter outputs Comment nodes exactly as the DOM is set up by the parser. See examples and discussion here:

Pretty Printing
This example shows how to pretty print a string containing a valid HTML document to a string. You can also just call the static methods of this class:
prettyPrintHTML(String)
or
prettyPrintHTML(String,boolean,boolean,boolean,boolean)
or,
prettyPrintXHTML(String)
for XHTML (note the X)String testPrettyPrint(String html) { StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint(); // These are the default values for createPrettyPrint, // so you needn't set them: // format.setNewlines(true); // format.setTrimText(true);</font> format.setXHTML(true); HTMLWriter writer = new HTMLWriter(sw, format); Document document = DocumentHelper.parseText(html); writer.write(document); writer.flush(); return sw.toString(); }This example shows how to create a "squeezed" document, but one that will work in browsers even if the browser line length is limited. No newlines are included, no extra whitespace at all, except where it it required by
setPreformattedTags
.String testCrunch(String html) { StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint(); format.setNewlines(false); format.setTrimText(true); format.setIndent(""); format.setXHTML(true); format.setExpandEmptyElements(false); format.setNewLineAfterNTags(20); org.dom4j.io.HTMLWriter writer = new HTMLWriter(sw, format); org.dom4j.Document document = DocumentHelper.parseText(html); writer.write(document); writer.flush(); return sw.toString(); }

Setting Preformatted Tags
Pass in a Set of Strings, one for each tag name that should be treated like a PRE tag. You may pass in null or an empty Set to assign the empty set, in which case no tags will be treated as preformatted, except that HTML Comments will continue to be preformatted. If a tag is included in the set of preformatted tags, all whitespace within the tag will be preserved, including whitespace on the same line preceding the close tag. This will generally make the close tag not line up with the start tag, but it preserves the intention of the whitespace within the tag.
The browser considers leading whitespace before the close tag to be significant, but leading whitespace before the open tag to be insignificant. For example, if the HTML author doesn't put the close TEXTAREA tag flush to the left margin, then the TEXTAREA control in the browser will have spaces on the last line inside the control. This may be the HTML author's intent. Similarly, in a PRE, the browser treats a flushed left close PRE tag as different from a close tag with leading whitespace. Again, this must be left up to the HTML author.
Examples
Here is an example of how you can set the PreformattedTags list using setPreformattedTags to include IFRAME, as well as the default set, if you have an instance of this class named myHTMLWriter:
Set current = myHTMLWriter.getPreformattedTags(); current.add("IFRAME"); myHTMLWriter.setPreformattedTags(current); //The set is now <b>PRE, SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, IFRAME</b>Similarly, you can simply replace it with your own:HashSet newset = new HashSet(); newset.add("PRE"); newset.add("TEXTAREA"); myHTMLWriter.setPreformattedTags(newset); //The set is now <b>{PRE, TEXTAREA}</b>You can remove all tags from the preformatted tags list, with an empty set, like this:myHTMLWriter.setPreformattedTags(new HashSet()); //The set is now <b>{}</b>or with null, like this:myHTMLWriter.setPreformattedTags(null); //The set is now <b>{}</b>
