public class HTMLTableWriter extends DocumentedStreamStarTableWriter implements MultiStarTableWriter
A StarTableWriter that outputs text to HTML. Depending on the value of thestandaloneattribute, the output may either be a complete HTML document or just a <TABLE> element suitable for inserting into an existing document. The output HTML is intended to conform to HTML 3.2 or 4.01, depending on options.

Method Detail
-
setStandalone
@ConfigMethod(property="standalone", doc="If true, the output is a freestanding HTML document complete with HTML, HEAD and BODY tags. If false, the output is just a TABLE element.") public void setStandalone(boolean standalone)Sets whether output tables should be complete HTML documents.- Parameters:
standalone- true if the output document should be a complete HTML document
-
isStandalone
public boolean isStandalone()
Indicates whether output tables will be complete HTML documents.- Returns:
- true if the output documents will be complete HTML docs
-
setMaxWidth
@ConfigMethod(property="maxCell", doc="Maximum width in characters of an output table cell. Cells longer than this will be truncated.") public void setMaxWidth(int maxWidth)Sets the maximum output width in characters for a single cell.- Parameters:
maxWidth- new maximum cell width
-
getMaxWidth
public int getMaxWidth()
Returns the maximum output width in characters for a single cell.- Returns:
- maximum cell width
-
getFormatName
public java.lang.String getFormatName()
Description copied from interface:StarTableWriterGives the name of the format which is written by this writer. Matching against this string may be used by callers to identify or select this writer from a list.- Specified by:
getFormatNamein interfaceStarTableWriter- Returns:
- a short string identifying the output format of this writer
-
getMimeType
public java.lang.String getMimeType()
Description copied from interface:StarTableWriterReturns a string suitable for use as the value of a MIME Content-Type header. If no suitable MIME type is available or known, one of "application/octet-stream" (for binary formats) or "text/plain" for ASCII ones) is recommended.- Specified by:
getMimeTypein interfaceStarTableWriter- Returns:
- MIME content type
-
docIncludesExample
public boolean docIncludesExample()
Description copied from interface:DocumentedIOHandlerIndicates whether the serialization of some (short) example table should be added to the user documentation for this handler. Binary formats, or instances for which theDocumented.getXmlDescription()method already includes some example output, should return false.- Specified by:
docIncludesExamplein interfaceDocumentedIOHandler- Returns:
- true if the user documentation would benefit from the addition of an example serialization
-
getXmlDescription
public java.lang.String getXmlDescription()
Description copied from interface:DocumentedReturns user-directed documentation in XML format.The output should be a sequence of one or more <P> elements, using XHTML-like XML. Since rendering may be done in a number of contexts however, use of the full range of XHTML elements is discouraged. Where possible, the content should stick to simple markup such as the elements P, A, UL, OL, LI, DL, DT, DD EM, STRONG, I, B, CODE, TT, PRE.
- Specified by:
getXmlDescriptionin interfaceDocumented- Returns:
- XML description of this object
-
writeStarTable
public void writeStarTable(StarTable table, java.io.OutputStream out) throws java.io.IOException
Description copied from interface:StarTableWriterWrites a StarTable object to a given output stream. The implementation can assume that out is suitable for direct writing (for instance it should not normally wrap it in aBufferedOutputStream), and should not close it at the end of the call.Not all table writers are capable of writing to a stream; an implementation may throw a
TableFormatExceptionto indicate that it cannot do so.- Specified by:
writeStarTablein interfaceStarTableWriter- Parameters:
table- the table to writeout- the output stream to which startab should be written- Throws:
TableFormatException- if this table cannot be written to a streamjava.io.IOException- if there is some I/O error
-
writeStarTables
public void writeStarTables(TableSequence tableSeq, java.io.OutputStream out) throws java.io.IOException
Description copied from interface:MultiStarTableWriterWrites an array of StarTable objects to a given output stream. The implementation can assume that the stream is suitable for direct writing (for instance it should not normally wrap it in aBufferedOutputStream), and should not close it at the end of the call.- Specified by:
writeStarTablesin interfaceMultiStarTableWriter- Parameters:
tableSeq- sequence of tables to writeout- destination stream- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
writeStarTables
public void writeStarTables(TableSequence tableSeq, java.lang.String location, StarTableOutput sto) throws java.io.IOException
Description copied from interface:MultiStarTableWriterWrites an array of StarTable objects to a given location. Implementations are free to interpret the location argument in any way appropriate for them. Typically however the location will simply be used to get an output stream (for instance interpreting it as a filename). In this case the sto argument should normally be used to turn location into a stream.- Specified by:
writeStarTablesin interfaceMultiStarTableWriter- Parameters:
tableSeq- sequence of tables to writelocation- destination for tablessto- StarTableOutput instance- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
getStarTableWriters
public static StarTableWriter[] getStarTableWriters()
Returns a selection of useful HTMLTableWriters.- Returns:
- array containing one standalone and one TABLE-only writer
-
printHeader
protected void printHeader(java.io.OutputStream ostrm, StarTable table) throws java.io.IOExceptionFor standalone output, this method is invoked to output any text preceding the <TABLE> start tag. May be overridden to modify the form of output documents.- Parameters:
ostrm- output streamtable- table for which header is required; may be null for multi-table output- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
printFooter
protected void printFooter(java.io.OutputStream ostrm) throws java.io.IOExceptionFor standalone output, this method is invoked to output any text following the </TABLE> end tag. May be overridden to modify the form of output documents.- Parameters:
ostrm- output stream- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
isUrl
protected boolean isUrl(java.lang.String txt)
Determines whether a string is apparently a URL. If this returns true, it is appropriate to format it within an HTML "a" element.- Parameters:
txt- string to test- Returns:
- true iff txt looks like a URL
