Xport Interface: formatter overview
Xport's formatter type alias, (and other aliases typed
from xhtml_formatter), formats xhtml output from document objects, and all embedded markup objects.
All output from document and markup objects use a formatter object to write the output.
If a formatter object is not
specified when writing a document or markup object, then a default formatter object is created and used to
write the output.
formatters's constructor allows you to specify the output stream or file, where the formatted output will be written. If specifying a
file, the file must be open with write permissions. An output stream can also be specified, including the standard output streams, like std::cout,
and also string streams, such as std::ostringstream.
The type alias that you use for your formatter depends on two factors. The document type you wish to use, and the character type you wish to use.
The list below reveals the available type aliases for Xport's
formatter.
xhtml_formatter's type aliases.
- formatter - xhtml strict, narrow character (default).
- wformatter - xhtml strict, wide character
- tformatter - xhtml transitional, narrow character
