Xport Interface: stylesheet_formatter::operator <<

Formats and sends the stylesheet or styelsheet_item to the output file or stream.

stylesheet_formatter& stylesheet_formatter::operator << (1st Variety
  const stylesheet& ss
);

stylesheet_formatter& stylesheet_formatter::operator << (2nd Variety
  const stylesheet_item& si
);

Parameters

ss

The stylesheet object to format and send to the output file or stream.

si

The stylesheet_item object to format and send to the output file or stream.

Returns

Returns a reference to the stylesheet_formatter object. Thus, this operation can be chained for multiple insertions.

Remarks

This operation allows an alternate way to send and format stylesheet and stylesheet content. The other way to perform the same task is to use stylesheet::write() or stylesheet_item::write(). This operation is sometimes easier to use if you need to chain output calls, as shown in the example above.

Complexity

Linear

Example

#include "xhtml_doc.h"
#include "xport_brochure.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  using namespace Xport;

  document doc(root_doc);
  stylesheet ss;

  xport_brochure broch;
  broch.create(doc, ss);

  // specify cout as the output for the stylesheet formatter
  stylesheet_formatter fmtr(std::cout);

  // output the whole stylesheet
  fmtr << ss;

  // output the stylesheet items
  stylesheet::const_iterator sit = ss.begin();
  for (; sit != ss.end(); ++sit) {
    fmtr << *sit;
  }

  std::cout << "\n\n";
}
