@page overview_html wxHTML Overview
|
|
|
|
The wxHTML library provides classes for parsing and displaying HTML.
|
|
It is not intended to be a high-end HTML browser. If you are looking for
|
|
something like that try <http://www.mozilla.org/>.
|
|
|
|
wxHTML can be used as a generic rich text viewer - for example to display
|
|
a nice About Box (like those of GNOME apps) or to display the result of
|
|
database searching. There is a wxFileSystem class which allows you to use
|
|
your own virtual file systems.
|
|
|
|
wxHtmlWindow supports tag handlers. This means that you can easily
|
|
extend wxHtml library with new, unsupported tags. Not only that,
|
|
you can even use your own application-specific tags!
|
|
|
|
See @c src/html/m_*.cpp files for details.
|
|
|
|
There is a generic wxHtmlParser class, independent of wxHtmlWindow.

@section overview_html_quickstart wxHTML quick start
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_quickstart_disphtml Displaying HTML
|
|
|
|
First of all, you must include @c wx/wxhtml.h.
|
|
|
|
Class wxHtmlWindow (derived from ::wxScrolledWindow) is used to display HTML documents.
|
|
|
|
It has two important methods: wxHtmlWindow::LoadPage and wxHtmlWindow::SetPage.
|
|
LoadPage loads and displays HTML file while SetPage displays directly the
|
|
passed @b string. See the example:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
mywin -> LoadPage("test.htm");
|
|
mywin -> SetPage("htmlbody"
|
|
"h1Error/h1"
|
|
"Some error occurred :-H)"
|
|
"/body/hmtl");
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_quickstart_settingup Setting up wxHtmlWindow
|
|
|
|
Because wxHtmlWindow is derived from ::wxScrolledWindow and not from
|
|
wxFrame, it doesn't have visible frame. But the user usually wants to see
|
|
the title of HTML page displayed somewhere and the frame's titlebar is
|
|
the ideal place for it.
|
|
|
|
wxHtmlWindow provides 2 methods in order to handle this:
|
|
wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedFrame and wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedStatusBar.
|
|
See the example:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
html = new wxHtmlWindow(this);
|
|
html -> SetRelatedFrame(this, "HTML : %%s");
|
|
html -> SetRelatedStatusBar(0);
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
The first command associates the HTML object with its parent frame
|
|
(this points to wxFrame object there) and sets the format of the title.
|
|
Page title "Hello, world!" will be displayed as "HTML : Hello, world!"
|
|
in this example.
|
|
|
|
The second command sets which frame's status bar should be used to display
|
|
browser's messages (such as "Loading..." or "Done" or hypertext links).
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_quickstart_custom Customizing wxHtmlWindow
|
|
|
|
You can customize wxHtmlWindow by setting font size, font face and
|
|
borders (space between border of window and displayed HTML). Related functions:
|
|
|
|
@li wxHtmlWindow::SetFonts
|
|
@li wxHtmlWindow::SetBorders
|
|
@li wxHtmlWindow::ReadCustomization
|
|
@li wxHtmlWindow::WriteCustomization
|
|
|
|
The last two functions are used to store user customization info wxConfig stuff
|
|
(for example in the registry under Windows, or in a dotfile under Unix).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_html_printing HTML Printing
|
|
|
|
The wxHTML library provides printing facilities with several levels of complexity.
|
|
The easiest way to print an HTML document is to use the wxHtmlEasyPrinting class.
|
|
|
|
It lets you print HTML documents with only one command and you don't have to worry
|
|
about deriving from the wxPrintout class at all. It is only a simple wrapper around the
|
|
wxHtmlPrintout, normal wxWidgets printout class.
|
|
|
|
And finally there is the low level class wxHtmlDCRenderer which you can use to
|
|
render HTML into a rectangular area on any DC.
|
|
|
|
It supports rendering into multiple rectangles with the same
|
|
width. (The most common use of this is placing one rectangle on each page or
|
|
printing into two columns.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_html_helpformats Help Files Format
|
|
|
|
wxHTML library can be used to show an help manual to the user; in fact, it supports
|
|
natively (through wxHtmlHelpController) a reduced version of MS HTML Workshop format.
|
|
|
|
A @b book consists of three files: the header file, the contents file
|
|
and the index file.
|
|
|
|
You can make a regular zip archive of these files, plus the HTML and any
|
|
image files, for wxHTML (or helpview) to read; and the @c ".zip" file can
|
|
optionally be renamed to @c ".htb".
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_helpformats_hhp Header file (.hhp)
|
|
|
|
The header file must contain these lines (and may contain additional lines
|
|
which are ignored):
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
Contents file=filename.hhc
|
|
Index file=filename.hhk
|
|
Title=title of your book
|
|
Default topic=default page to be displayed.htm
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
All filenames (including the Default topic) are relative to the
|
|
location of the @c ".hhp" file.
|
|
|
|
@note For localization, in addition the @c ".hhp" file may contain the line
|
|
@code
|
|
Charset=rfc_charset
|
|
@endcode
|
|
which specifies what charset (e.g. "iso8859_1") was used in contents
|
|
and index files. Please note that this line is incompatible with
|
|
MS HTML Help Workshop and it would either silently remove it or complain
|
|
with some error. See also @ref overview_nonenglish.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_helpformats_hhc Contents file (.hhc)
|
|
|
|
Contents file has HTML syntax and it can be parsed by regular HTML parser.
|
|
It contains exactly one list (@c <ul>....@c </ul> statement):
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><object type="text/sitemap">
|
|
<param name="Name" value="@topic name@">
|
|
<param name="ID" value=@numeric_id@>
|
|
<param name="Local" value="@filename.htm@">
|
|
</object>
|
|
<li><object type="text/sitemap">
|
|
<param name="Name" value="@topic name@">
|
|
<param name="ID" value=@numeric_id@>
|
|
<param name="Local" value="@filename.htm@">
|
|
</object>
|
|
...
|
|
</ul>
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
You can modify value attributes of param tags.
|
|
The <em>topic name</em> is name of chapter/topic as is displayed in
|
|
contents, <em>filename.htm</em> is the HTML page name (relative to the @c ".hhp" file)
|
|
and <em>numeric_id</em> is optional - it is used only when you use wxHtmlHelpController::Display(int).
|
|
|
|
Items in the list may be nested - one @c <li> statement may contain a @c <ul> sub-statement:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><object type="text/sitemap">
|
|
<param name="Name" value="Top node">
|
|
<param name="Local" value="top.htm">
|
|
</object>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><object type="text/sitemap">
|
|
<param name="Name" value="subnode in topnode">
|
|
<param name="Local" value="subnode1.htm">
|
|
</object>
|
|
...
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><object type="text/sitemap">
|
|
<param name="Name" value="Another Top">
|
|
<param name="Local" value="top2.htm">
|
|
</object>
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_helpformats_hhk Index file (.hhk)
|
|
|
|
Index files have same format as contents files except that ID params are ignored
|
|
and sublists are @b not allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_html_filters Input Filters
|
|
|
|
The wxHTML library provides a mechanism for reading and displaying
|
|
files of many different file formats.
|
|
|
|
wxHtmlWindow::LoadPage can load not only HTML files but any known file.
|
|
To make a file type known to wxHtmlWindow you must create a wxHtmlFilter filter and
|
|
register it using wxHtmlWindow::AddFilter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_html_cells Cells and Containers
|
|
|
|
This article describes mechanism used by wxHtmlWinParser and
|
|
wxHtmlWindow to parse and display HTML documents.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_cells_cells Cells
|
|
|
|
You can divide any text (or HTML) into small fragments. Let's call these
|
|
fragments @b cells. Cell is for example one word, horizontal line, image
|
|
or any other part of document. Each cell has width and height (except special
|
|
"magic" cells with zero dimensions - e.g. colour changers or font changers).
|
|
See wxHtmlCell.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_cells_containers Containers
|
|
|
|
Container is kind of cell that may contain sub-cells. Its size depends
|
|
on number and sizes of its sub-cells (and also depends on width of window).
|
|
See wxHtmlContainerCell, wxHtmlCell::Layout. This image shows the cells and
|
|
containers:
|
|
|
|
@image html overview_html_contbox.png
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_cells_conttaghandler Using Containers in Tag Handler
|
|
|
|
wxHtmlWinParser provides a user-friendly way of managing containers.
|
|
It is based on the idea of opening and closing containers.
|
|
|
|
Use wxHtmlWinParser::OpenContainer to open new a container @e within an already
|
|
opened container.
|
|
This new container is a @e sub-container of the old one. (If you want to create a
|
|
new container with the same depth level you can call @c CloseContainer(); OpenContainer();.)
|
|
|
|
Use wxHtmlWinParser::CloseContainer to close the container.
|
|
This doesn't create a new container with same depth level but it returns "control"
|
|
to the parent container. See explanation:
|
|
|
|
@image html overview_html_cont.png
|
|
|
|
There clearly must be same number of calls to OpenContainer as to
|
|
CloseContainer.
|
|
|
|
@subsubsection overview_html_cells_conttaghandler_example Example
|
|
|
|
This code creates a new paragraph (container at same depth level)
|
|
with "Hello, world!":
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
m_WParser -> CloseContainer();
|
|
c = m_WParser -> OpenContainer();
|
|
|
|
m_WParser -> AddText("Hello, ");
|
|
m_WParser -> AddText("world!");
|
|
|
|
m_WParser -> CloseContainer();
|
|
m_WParser -> OpenContainer();
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
and here is image of the situation:
|
|
|
|
@image html overview_html_hello.png
|
|
|
|
You can see that there was an opened container before the code was executed.
|
|
We closed it, created our own container, then closed our container and opened
|
|
new container.
|
|
|
|
The result was that we had @e same depth level after executing.
|
|
This is general rule that should be followed by tag handlers:
|
|
leave depth level of containers unmodified (in other words, number of
|
|
OpenContainer and CloseContainer calls should be same within
|
|
wxHtmlTagHandler::HandleTag's body).
|
|
|
|
Notice that it would be usually better to use wxHtmlContainerCell::InsertCell instead
|
|
of adding text to the parser directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_html_handlers Tag Handlers
|
|
|
|
The wxHTML library provides architecture of pluggable @e tag handlers.
|
|
Tag handler is class that understands particular HTML tag (or tags) and is
|
|
able to interpret it.
|
|
|
|
wxHtmlWinParser has a static table of @b modules.
|
|
Each module contains one or more tag handlers. Each time a new wxHtmlWinParser
|
|
object is constructed all modules are scanned and handlers are added
|
|
to wxHtmlParser's list of available handlers (note: wxHtmlParser's list
|
|
is non-static).
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_handlers_howworks How it works
|
|
|
|
Common tag handler's wxHtmlTagHandler::HandleTag method works in four steps:
|
|
|
|
@li Save state of parent parser into local variables
|
|
@li Change parser state according to tag's params
|
|
@li Parse text between the tag and paired ending tag (if present)
|
|
@li Restore original parser state
|
|
|
|
See wxHtmlWinParser for methods for modifying parser's state.
|
|
In general you can do things like opening/closing containers, changing colors, fonts etc.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_handlers_custom Providing own tag handlers
|
|
|
|
You should create a new .cpp file and place the following lines into it:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
#include <mod_templ.h>
|
|
#include <forcelink.h>
|
|
FORCE_LINK_ME(yourmodulefilenamewithoutcpp)
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
Then you must define handlers and one module.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_handlers_tag Tag handlers
|
|
|
|
The handler is derived from wxHtmlWinTagHandler (or directly from wxHtmlTagHandler).
|
|
|
|
You can use set of macros to define the handler (see src/html/m_*.cpp files
|
|
for details). Handler definition must start with @b TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN macro
|
|
and end with @b TAG_HANDLER_END macro.
|
|
|
|
I strongly recommend to have a look at @e include/wxhtml/mod_templ.h file.
|
|
Otherwise you won't understand the structure of macros.
|
|
|
|
See macros reference:
|
|
@li @b TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN(@e name, @e tags):
|
|
Starts handler definition. @e name is handler identifier (in fact
|
|
part of class name), @e tags is string containing list of tags
|
|
supported by this handler (in uppercase). This macro derives new class from
|
|
wxHtmlWinTagHandler and implements it is wxHtmlTagHandler::GetSupportedTags method.
|
|
Example: TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN(FONTS, "B,I,U,T")
|
|
|
|
@li @b TAG_HANDLER_VARS:
|
|
This macro starts block of variables definitions. (Variables are identical
|
|
to class attributes.) Example:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN(VARS_ONLY, "CRAZYTAG")
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_VARS
|
|
int my_int_var;
|
|
wxString something_else;
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_END(VARS_ONLY)
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
This macro is used only in rare cases.
|
|
|
|
@li @b TAG_HANDLER_CONSTR(@e name):
|
|
This macro supplies object constructor. @e name is same name as the one
|
|
from TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN macro. Body of constructor follow after
|
|
this macro (you must use { and } ). Example:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN(VARS2, "CRAZYTAG")
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_VARS
|
|
int my_int_var;
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_CONSTR(vars2)
|
|
{ // !!!!!!
|
|
my_int_var = 666;
|
|
} // !!!!!!
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_END(VARS2)
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
Never used in wxHTML :-)
|
|
|
|
@li @b TAG_HANDLER_PROC(@e varib):
|
|
This is very important macro. It defines wxHtmlTagHandler::HandleTag
|
|
method. @e varib is name of parameter passed to the method, usually
|
|
@e tag. Body of method follows after this macro.
|
|
Note than you must use { and } !
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN(TITLE, "TITLE")
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_PROC(tag)
|
|
{
|
|
printf("TITLE found...\n");
|
|
}
|
|
TAG_HANDLER_END(TITLE)
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
@li @b TAG_HANDLER_END(@e name):
|
|
Ends definition of tag handler @e name.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_html_handlers_modules Tags Modules
|
|
|
|
You can use set of 3 macros TAGS_MODULE_BEGIN, TAGS_MODULE_ADD and
|
|
TAGS_MODULE_END to inherit new module from
|
|
wxHtmlTagsModule and to create instance of it.
|
|
|
|
See macros reference:
|
|
|
|
@li @b TAGS_MODULE_BEGIN(@e modname):
|
|
Begins module definition. @e modname is part of class name and must be unique.
|
|
@li @b TAGS_MODULE_ADD(@e name):
|
|
Adds the handler to this module. @e name is the identifier from TAG_HANDLER_BEGIN.
|
|
@li @b TAGS_MODULE_END(@e modname):
|
|
Ends the definition of module.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
TAGS_MODULE_BEGIN(Examples)
|
|
TAGS_MODULE_ADD(VARS_ONLY)
|
|
TAGS_MODULE_ADD(VARS2)
|
|
TAGS_MODULE_ADD(TITLE)
|
|
TAGS_MODULE_END(Examples)
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_html_supptags Tags supported by wxHTML
|
|
|
|
wxHTML is not full implementation of HTML standard. Instead, it supports most
|
|
common tags so that it is possible to display @e simple HTML documents with it.
|
|
(For example it works fine with pages created in Netscape Composer or generated by tex2rtf).
|
|
|
|
Following tables list all tags known to wxHTML, together with supported parameters.
|
|
|
|
A tag has general form of @c tagname param_1 param_2 ... param_n where param_i is
|
|
either @c paramname="paramvalue" or @c paramname=paramvalue - these two are equivalent.
|
|
Unless stated otherwise, wxHTML is case-insensitive.
|
|
