Deprecated. This class was deprecated in Xerces 2.6.2. It is recommended that new applications use JAXP's Transformation API for XML (TrAX) for serializing HTML. See the Xerces documentation for more information.

public class HTMLSerializer
extends BaseMarkupSerializer

Implements an HTML/XHTML serializer supporting both DOM and SAX pretty serializing. HTML/XHTML mode is determined in the constructor. For usage instructions see `Serializer`.

If an output stream is used, the encoding is taken from the output format (defaults to `UTF-8`). If a writer is used, make sure the writer uses the same encoding (if applies) as specified in the output format.

The serializer supports both DOM and SAX. DOM serializing is done by calling `BaseMarkupSerializer.serialize(org.w3c.dom.Element)` and SAX serializing is done by firing SAX events and using the serializer as a document handler.

If an I/O exception occurs while serializing, the serializer will not throw an exception directly, but only throw it at the end of serializing (either DOM or SAX's `DocumentHandler.endDocument()`.

For elements that are not specified as whitespace preserving, the serializer will potentially break long text lines at space boundaries, indent lines, and serialize elements on separate lines. Line terminators will be regarded as spaces, and spaces at beginning of line will be stripped.

XHTML is slightly different than HTML:

- Element/attribute names are lower case and case matters
- Attributes must specify value, even if empty string
- Empty elements must have '/' in empty tag
- Contents of SCRIPT and STYLE elements serialized as CDATA

  Parameters:
    `xhtml` - True if XHTML serializing

### HTMLSerializer

Method Detail

### setOutputFormat

    public void setOutputFormat(OutputFormat format)

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from interface: `Serializer`
  Specifies an output format for this serializer. It the serializer has already been associated with an output format, it will switch to the new format. This method should not be called while the serializer is in the process of serializing a document.
  Overrides:
    `setOutputFormat` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Following copied from interface: `org.apache.xml.serialize.Serializer`
  Parameters:
    `format` - The output format to use

### setXHTMLNamespace

    public void setXHTMLNamespace(java.lang.String newNamespace)

  Deprecated.

### startElement

    public void startElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                             java.lang.String localName,
                             java.lang.String rawName,
                             org.xml.sax.Attributes attrs)
                      throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Deprecated.

  Deprecated.

### endElementIO

    public void endElementIO(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                             java.lang.String localName,
                             java.lang.String rawName)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Deprecated.

### characters

    public void characters(char[] chars,
                           int start,
                           int length)
                    throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Deprecated.
  Overrides:
    `characters` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`

### startElement

    public void startElement(java.lang.String tagName,
                             org.xml.sax.AttributeList attrs)
                      throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Deprecated.

### endElement

    public void endElement(java.lang.String tagName)
                    throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Deprecated.

### startDocument

    protected void startDocument(java.lang.String rootTagName)
                          throws java.io.IOException

  Deprecated.
  Called to serialize the document's DOCTYPE by the root element. The document type declaration must name the root element, but the root element is only known when that element is serialized, and not at the start of the document.

  This method will check if it has not been called before (`BaseMarkupSerializer._started`), will serialize the document type declaration, and will serialize all pre-root comments and PIs that were accumulated in the document (see `BaseMarkupSerializer.serializePreRoot()`). Pre-root will be serialized even if this is not the first root element of the document.

### serializeElement

    protected void serializeElement(org.w3c.dom.Element elem)
                             throws java.io.IOException

  Deprecated.
  Called to serialize a DOM element. Equivalent to calling `startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes)`, `endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)` and serializing everything inbetween, but better optimized.
  Overrides:
    `serializeElement` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xml.serialize.BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Parameters:
    `elem` - The element to serialize
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - An I/O exception occured while serializing

### characters

    protected void characters(java.lang.String text)
                       throws java.io.IOException

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from class: `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Called to print the text contents in the prevailing element format. Since this method is capable of printing text as CDATA, it is used for that purpose as well. White space handling is determined by the current element state. In addition, the output format can dictate whether the text is printed as CDATA or unescaped.
  Overrides:
    `characters` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xml.serialize.BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Parameters:
    `text` - The text to print
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - An I/O exception occured while serializing

### getEntityRef

    protected java.lang.String getEntityRef(int ch)

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from class: `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Returns the suitable entity reference for this character value, or null if no such entity exists. Calling this method with `'&'` will return `"&amp;"`.
  Overrides:
    `getEntityRef` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xml.serialize.BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Parameters:
    `ch` - Character value
  Returns:
    Character entity name, or null

### escapeURI

    protected java.lang.String escapeURI(java.lang.String uri)

  Deprecated.
