Class XhtmlUtil

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.wiki.util.XhtmlUtil

public final class XhtmlUtil
extends Object

A utility class to generate XHTML objects and ultimately, serialised markup. This class is incomplete but serves as a basic utility for JSPWiki, to be expanded upon as needed.

This uses JDOM2 as its backing implementation.

Example

To generate a single element, an Element with PCDATA content, and then embed the latter in the former:

    Element div = XhtmlUtil.element(XHTML.div);
    Element p   = XhtmlUtil.element(XHTML.p,"Some content");
    div.addContent(p);
  

There is also a convenient link and link target constructor methods:

    Element link   = XhtmlUtil.link("hrefValue","linkText");
    Element target = XhtmlUtil.target("targetIdValue","linkText");
