Overview

God, I hate DTDs. I really do. Why this idiot standard still plagues us is beyond me.

Constructor Details

#initialize(stream, value = nil, parent = nil, reference = false) ⇒ Entity

Create a new entity. Simple entities can be constructed by passing a name, value to the constructor; this creates a generic, plain entity reference. For anything more complicated, you have to pass a Source to the constructor with the entity definition, or use the accessor methods. WARNING: There is no validation of entity state except when the entity is read from a stream. If you start poking around with the accessors, you can easily create a non-conformant Entity. The best thing to do is dump the stupid DTDs and use XMLSchema instead.

e = Entity.new( 'amp', '&' )

Instance Attribute Details

#external ⇒ Object (readonly)

Returns the value of attribute external.

Class Method Details

.matches?(string) ⇒ Boolean

Evaluates whether the given string matchs an entity definition, returning true if so, and false otherwise.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def Entity::matches? string
  (ENTITYDECL =~ string) == 0
end

Instance Method Details

#normalized ⇒ Object

Returns the value of this entity unprocessed – raw. This is the normalized value; that is, with all %ent; and &ent; entities intact

# File 'lib/extensions/rexml/rexml/entity.rb', line 87

def normalized
  @value
end

#to_s ⇒ Object

Returns this entity as a string. See write().

# File 'lib/extensions/rexml/rexml/entity.rb', line 121

def to_s
  rv = ''
  write rv
  rv
end

#unnormalized ⇒ Object

Evaluates to the unnormalized value of this entity; that is, replacing all entities – both %ent; and &ent; entities. This differs from value() in that value only replaces %ent; entities.

def unnormalized
  document.record_entity_expansion unless document.nil?
  v = value()
  return nil if v.nil?
  @unnormalized = Text::unnormalize(v, parent)
  @unnormalized
end

#value ⇒ Object

Returns the value of this entity. At the moment, only internal entities are processed. If the value contains internal references (IE, %blah;), those are replaced with their values. IE, if the doctype contains:

<!ENTITY % foo "bar">
<!ENTITY yada "nanoo %foo; nanoo>

then:

doctype.entity('yada').value   #-> "nanoo bar nanoo"

#write(out, indent = -1) ⇒ Object

Write out a fully formed, correct entity definition (assuming the Entity object itself is valid.)

out

An object implementing <TT>&lt;&lt;<TT> to which the entity will be output

indent

DEPRECATED and ignored
