Method Detail

### isEmptyTag

    protected static boolean isEmptyTag(java.lang.String tag)

### isUrlAttribute

    public static boolean isUrlAttribute(java.lang.String element,
                                         java.lang.String attribute)

### startDocument

    public void startDocument()
                       throws TransformerException

  Output start of document

  Overrides:
    `startDocument` in class `XMLEmitter`
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### startElement

    public void startElement(int nameCode,
                             org.xml.sax.Attributes atts,
                             int[] namespaces,
                             int nscount)
                      throws TransformerException

  Output element start tag

  Overrides:
    `startElement` in class `XMLEmitter`
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### writeAttribute

    protected void writeAttribute(int elCode,
                                  java.lang.String attname,
                                  java.lang.String type,

                           throws TransformerException

  Write attribute name=value pair. Overrides the XML behaviour if the name and value are the same (we assume this is a boolean attribute to be minimised), or if the value is a URL.

  Overrides:
    `writeAttribute` in class `XMLEmitter`
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### writeEscape

    protected void writeEscape(char[] ch,
                               int start,
                               int length,

                        throws java.io.IOException

  Escape characters. Overrides the XML behaviour

  Overrides:
    `writeEscape` in class `XMLEmitter`
  Parameters:
    `ch` - The character array containing the string
    `start` - The start position of the input string within the character array
    `length` - The length of the input string within the character array This method converts the XML special characters (such as < and &) into their predefined entities.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### endElement

    public void endElement(int nameCode)
                    throws TransformerException

  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### characters

    public void characters(char[] ch,
                           int start,

  Character data.

  Overrides:
    `characters` in class `XMLEmitter`
  Throws:

                               throws TransformerException

  Handle a processing instruction.

  Overrides:
    `processingInstruction` in class `XMLEmitter`
