public class HTMLDocument.HTMLReader

extends HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback

An html reader to load an html document with an html element structure. This is a set of callbacks from the parser, implemented to create a set of elements tagged with attributes. The parse builds up tokens (ElementSpec) that describe the element subtree desired, and burst it into the document under the protection of a write lock using the insert method on the document outer class.

The reader can be configured by registering actions (of type HTMLDocument.HTMLReader.TagAction) that describe how to handle the action. The idea behind the actions provided is that the most natural text editing operations can be provided if the element structure boils down to paragraphs with runs of some kind of style in them. Some things are more naturally specified structurally, so arbitrary structure should be allowed above the paragraphs, but will need to be edited with structural actions. The implecation of this is that some of the html elements specified in the stream being parsed will be collapsed into attributes, and in some cases paragraphs will be synthesized. When html elements have been converted to attributes, the attribute key will be of type HTML.Tag, and the value will be of type AttributeSet so that no information is lost. This enables many of the existing actions to work so that the user can type input, hit the return key, backspace, delete, etc and have a reasonable result. Selections can be created, and attributes applied or removed, etc. With this in mind, the work done by the reader can be categorized into the following kinds of tasks:

Block

Build the structure like it's specified in the stream. This produces elements that contain other elements.

Paragraph

Like block except that it's expected that the element will be used with a paragraph view so a paragraph element won't need to be synthesized.

Character

Contribute the element as an attribute that will start and stop at arbitrary text locations. This will ultimately be mixed into a run of text, with all of the currently flattened html character elements.

Special

Produce an embedded graphical element.

Form

Produce an element that is like the embedded graphical element, except that it also has a component model associated with it.

Hidden

Create an element that is hidden from view when the document is being viewed read-only, and visible when the document is being edited. This is useful to keep the model from losing information, and used to store things like comments and unrecognized tags.

Currently, <APPLET>, <PARAM>, <MAP>, <AREA>, <LINK>, <SCRIPT> and <STYLE> are unsupported.

Method Detail

flush

public void flush()
           throws BadLocationException

This is the last method called on the reader. It allows any pending changes to be flushed into the document. Since this is currently loading synchronously, the entire set of changes are pushed in at this point.

Overrides:

flush in class HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback

handleText

public void handleText(char[] data,
                       int pos)

Called by the parser to indicate a block of text was encountered.

Overrides:

handleText in class HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback

handleStartTag

public void handleStartTag(HTML.Tag t,
                           MutableAttributeSet a,
                           int pos)

Callback from the parser. Route to the appropriate handler for the tag.

Overrides:

handleStartTag in class HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback

handleComment

public void handleComment(char[] data,
                          int pos)

Overrides:

handleComment in class HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback

handleEndTag

public void handleEndTag(HTML.Tag t,
                         int pos)

Callback from the parser. Route to the appropriate handler for the tag.

Overrides:

handleEndTag in class HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback

handleSimpleTag

public void handleSimpleTag(HTML.Tag t,
                            MutableAttributeSet a,
                            int pos)

Callback from the parser. Route to the appropriate handler for the tag.

Overrides:

handleSimpleTag in class HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback

registerTag

protected void registerTag(HTML.Tag t,
                           HTMLDocument.HTMLReader.TagAction a)

Register a handler for the given tag. By default all of the well-known tags will have been registered. This can be used to change the handling of a particular tag or to add support for custom tags.

pushCharacterStyle

protected void pushCharacterStyle()

Push the current character style on a stack in preparation for forming a new nested character style.

popCharacterStyle

protected void popCharacterStyle()

Pop a previously pushed character style off the stack to return to a previous style.

textAreaContent

protected void textAreaContent(char[] data)

Add the given content to the textarea document. This method gets called when we are in a textarea context. Therefore all text that is seen belongs to the text area and is hence added to the TextAreaDocument associated with the text area.

preContent

protected void preContent(char[] data)

Add the given content that was encountered in a PRE element. This synthesizes lines to hold the runs of text, and makes calls to addContent to actually add the text.

blockOpen

protected void blockOpen(HTML.Tag t,
                         MutableAttributeSet attr)

Add an instruction to the parse buffer to create a block element with the given attributes.

blockClose

protected void blockClose(HTML.Tag t)

Add an instruction to the parse buffer to close out a block element of the given type.

addContent

protected void addContent(char[] data,
                          int offs,
                          int length)

Add some text with the current character attributes.

Parameters:

embedded - the attributes of an embedded object.

addContent

protected void addContent(char[] data,
                          int offs,
                          int length,
                          boolean generateImpliedPIfNecessary)

Add some text with the current character attributes.

Parameters:

embedded - the attributes of an embedded object.

addSpecialElement

protected void addSpecialElement(HTML.Tag t,
                                 MutableAttributeSet a)

Add content that is basically specified entirely in the attribute set.
