| 430 | 14 """Support for programmatically generating markup streams from Python code using |
| 15 a very simple syntax. The main entry point to this module is the `tag` object | |
| 16 (which is actually an instance of the ``ElementFactory`` class). You should | |
| 17 rarely (if ever) need to directly import and use any of the other classes in | |
| 18 this module. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 Elements can be created using the `tag` object using attribute access. For | |
| 21 example: | |
| 22 | |
| 23 >>> doc = tag.p('Some text and ', tag.a('a link', href='http://example.org/'), '.') | |
| 24 >>> doc | |
| 25 <Element "p"> | |
| 26 | |
| 27 This produces an `Element` instance which can be further modified to add child | |
| 28 nodes and attributes. This is done by "calling" the element: positional | |
| 29 arguments are added as child nodes (alternatively, the `Element.append` method | |
| 30 can be used for that purpose), whereas keywords arguments are added as | |
| 31 attributes: | |
| 32 | |
| 33 >>> doc(tag.br) | |
| 34 <Element "p"> | |
| 35 >>> print doc | |
| 36 <p>Some text and <a href="http://example.org/">a link</a>.<br/></p> | |
| 37 | |
| 38 If an attribute name collides with a Python keyword, simply append an underscore | |
| 39 to the name: | |
| 40 | |
| 41 >>> doc(class_='intro') | |
| 42 <Element "p"> | |
| 43 >>> print doc | |
| 44 <p class="intro">Some text and <a href="http://example.org/">a link</a>.<br/></p> | |
| 45 | |
| 46 As shown above, an `Element` can easily be directly rendered to XML text by | |
| 47 printing it or using the Python ``str()`` function. This is basically a | |
| 48 shortcut for converting the `Element` to a stream and serializing that | |
| 49 stream: | |
| 50 | |
| 51 >>> stream = doc.generate() | |
|
431
747baa1cd597
* Don't allow `style` attributes by default in the `HTMLSanitizer`. Closes #97.

| 54 >>> print stream | |
| 55 <p class="intro">Some text and <a href="http://example.org/">a link</a>.<br/></p> | |
| 56 | |
| 57 | |
| 58 The `tag` object also allows creating "fragments", which are basically lists | |
| 59 of nodes (elements or text) that don't have a parent element. This can be useful | |
| 60 for creating snippets of markup that are attached to a parent element later (for | |
| 61 example in a template). Fragments are created by calling the `tag` object, which | |
| 62 returns an object of type `Fragment`: | |
| 63 | |
| 64 >>> fragment = tag('Hello, ', tag.em('world'), '!') | |
| 65 >>> fragment | |
| 66 <Fragment> | |
| 67 >>> print fragment | |
| 68 Hello, <em>world</em>! | |

| 160 | |
| 161 >>> print Element('strong') | |
| 162 <strong/> | |
| 163 | |
| 164 Attributes can be specified using keyword arguments. The values of the | |
| 165 arguments will be converted to strings and any special XML characters | |
| 166 escaped: | |
| 167 | |
| 168 >>> print Element('textarea', rows=10, cols=60) | |
| 169 <textarea rows="10" cols="60"/> | |
| 170 >>> print Element('span', title='1 < 2') | |

| 172 >>> print Element('span', title='"baz"') | |
| 173 <span title=""baz""/> | |
| 174 | |
| 175 The " character is escaped using a numerical entity. | |
| 176 The order in which attributes are rendered is undefined. | |
| 177 | |
| 178 If an attribute value evaluates to `None`, that attribute is not included | |
| 179 in the output: | |
| 180 | |
| 181 >>> print Element('a', name=None) | |
| 182 <a/> | |
| 183 | |
| 184 Attribute names that conflict with Python keywords can be specified by | |
| 185 appending an underscore: | |
| 186 | |
| 187 >>> print Element('div', class_='warning') | |
| 188 <div class="warning"/> | |
| 189 | |
| 190 Nested elements can be added to an element using item access notation. | |
| 191 The call notation can also be used for this and for adding attributes | |
| 192 using keyword arguments, as one would do in the constructor. | |
| 193 | |
| 194 >>> print Element('ul')(Element('li'), Element('li')) | |
| 195 <ul><li/><li/></ul> | |
| 196 >>> print Element('a')('Label') | |
| 197 <a>Label</a> | |
| 198 >>> print Element('a')('Label', href="target") | |
| 199 <a href="target">Label</a> | |
| 200 | |
| 201 Text nodes can be nested in an element by adding strings instead of | |
| 202 elements. Any special characters in the strings are escaped automatically: | |
| 203 | |
| 204 >>> print Element('em')('Hello world') | |
| 205 <em>Hello world</em> | |
| 206 >>> print Element('em')(42) | |
| 207 <em>42</em> | |
| 208 >>> print Element('em')('1 < 2') | |
| 209 <em>1 < 2</em> | |
| 210 | |
| 211 This technique also allows mixed content: | |
| 212 | |
| 213 >>> print Element('p')('Hello ', Element('b')('world')) | |
| 214 <p>Hello <b>world</b></p> | |
| 215 | |
| 34 | 216 Quotes are not escaped inside text nodes: |
| 217 >>> print Element('p')('"Hello"') | |
| 218 <p>"Hello"</p> | |
| 219 | |
| 1 | 220 Elements can also be combined with other elements or strings using the |
| 221 addition operator, which results in a `Fragment` object that contains the | |
| 222 operands: | |
| 223 | |
| 224 >>> print Element('br') + 'some text' + Element('br') | |
| 225 <br/>some text<br/> | |
| 226 | |
| 227 Elements with a namespace can be generated using the `Namespace` and/or | |
| 228 `QName` classes: | |
| 229 | |
| 230 | 230 >>> from genshi.core import Namespace |
| 1 | 231 >>> xhtml = Namespace('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml') |
