Module
Eliom_content
:
sig end
This module provides the creation of valid XML content, i.e. XML, XHTML, SVG,
and (X)HTML5. XML tree manipulation within Eliom is based on the TyXML library
but use a custom representation for XML values (see
Eliom_content.Xml
). Then,
Eliom_content redefines the three high level interfaces (
Eliom_content.Svg ,
Eliom_content.Html5 and
Eliom_content.Xhtml ) that are provided by TyXML for valid XML tree
creation and printing.
Modules
Eliom_content.Html5 ,
Eliom_content.Svg contain two
implementing sub-modules:
F and
D .
Functional semantics
The
F modules provide functions to create elements with functional
semantics: On the one hand side, those values do not have an identity, which
means utilizations of those values are independent of each other. On the other
hand side, they cannot be referred to, neither by client code when created on
the server, nor for usage in the functions of
Eliom_content.Html5.To_dom and
Eliom_content.Html5.Manip .
DOM semantics
The
D modules provide functions to create elements with DOM semantics:
Firstly, they behave like DOM nodes, e.g. they can only be added once to the
DOM tree even when appended several times. Secondly, those values have an
identity, which means they can be referred to on the client side (by
%variable ) or used with the functions
Eliom_content.Html5.To_dom and
Eliom_content.Html5.Manip .
In case of doubt, use the modules with DOM-like semantics
D .
module type Forms = sig end
Abstract signature for links and forms creation functions. For concrete instance
see
Eliom_content.Html5 ,
Eliom_content.Xhtml or
Eliom_content.Html_text .
module Xml : sig end
Low-level XML manipulation.
module Svg : sig end
Building and pretty-printing valid SVG tree.
module Html5 : sig end
Building and printing valid (X)HTML5 tree.
module Xhtml : sig end
Building valid XHTML.
module Html_text : sig end
