.Ve .SH "SUMMARY" .IX Header "SUMMARY" MKDoc::XML::Stripper is a class which lets you specify a set of tags and attributes which you want to allow, and then cheekily strip any \s-1XML\s0 of unwanted tags and attributes. .PP In MKDoc, this is used so that editors use structural \s-1XHTML\s0 rather than presentational tags, i.e. strip anything which looks like a tag, a 'style' attribute or other tags which would break separation of structure from content. .SH "DISCLAIMER" .IX Header "DISCLAIMER" \&\fBThis module does low level \s-1XML\s0 manipulation. It will somehow parse even broken \s-1XML\s0 and try to do something with it. Do not use it unless you know what you're doing.\fR .SH "API" .IX Header "API" .ie n .SS "my $stripper = MKDoc::XML::Stripper\->\fInew()\fP" .el .SS "my \f(CW$stripper\fP = MKDoc::XML::Stripper\->\fInew()\fP" .IX Subsection "my $stripper = MKDoc::XML::Stripper->new()" Instantiates a new MKDoc::XML::Stripper object. .ie n .SS "$stripper\->load_def ($def_name);" .el .SS "\f(CW$stripper\fP\->load_def ($def_name);" .IX Subsection "$stripper->load_def ($def_name);" Loads a definition located somewhere in \f(CW@INC\fR under MKDoc/XML/Stripper. .PP Available definitions are: .IP "xhtml10frameset" 4 .IX Item "xhtml10frameset" .PD 0 .IP "xhtml10strict" 4 .IX Item "xhtml10strict" .IP "xhtml10transitional" 4 .IX Item "xhtml10transitional" .IP "mkdoc16 \- MKDoc 1.6. \s-1XHTML\s0 structural markup" 4 .IX Item "mkdoc16 - MKDoc 1.6.

It uses MKDoc::XML::Tokenizer to turn the \s-1XML\s0 / \s-1XHTML\s0 file into a series of MKDoc::XML::Token objects and strictly operates on a list of tokens. .PP For this same reason MKDoc::XML::Stripper does not support namespaces. .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Copyright 2003 \- MKDoc Holdings Ltd. .PP Author: Jean-Michel Hiver .PP This module is free software and is distributed under the same license as Perl itself.
