Class OutputFormat

java.lang.Object

public class OutputFormat
extends java.lang.Object

Specifies an output format to control the serializer. Based on the XSLT specification for output format, plus additional parameters. Used to select the suitable serializer and determine how the document should be formatted on output.

The two interesting constructors are:

    for the specified method (XML, HTML, Text, etc), encoding and indentation compatible with the document type (XML, HTML, Text, etc), encoding and indentation

                    boolean indenting)
Constructs a new output format with the default values for the specified method and encoding. If indent is true, the document will be pretty printed with the default indentation level and default line wrapping.

OutputFormat

public OutputFormat(Document doc)

OutputFormat

public OutputFormat(Document doc,
                    java.lang.String encoding,
                    boolean indenting)
Constructs a new output format with the proper method, document type identifiers and media type for the specified document, and with the specified encoding. If indent is true, the document will be pretty printed with the default indentation level and default line wrapping.

Returns:
The specified method version, or null

setVersion

public void setVersion(java.lang.String version)
Sets the version for this output method. For XML the value would be "1.0", for HTML it would be "4.0".

getIndent

getIndenting

public boolean getIndenting()
Returns true if indentation was specified.

setIndenting

public void setIndenting(boolean on)

Parameters:
on - True if indentation should be on

getEncoding

public java.lang.String getEncoding()
Returns the specified encoding. If no encoding was specified, the default is always "UTF-8".
Returns:
The encoding
