    def self.set(option, value)
      @@default[option] = value
    end

### Public Instance Methods

<<(string) click to toggle source
Alias for: text
add_child(ele) click to toggle source

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 42
    def add_child ele
      ele.parent = self
      self.children ||= []
      self.children << ele
      ele
    end

build(*a, &b) click to toggle source

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 121
    def build(*a, &b)
      Hpricot.build(*a, &b)
    end

concat(string) click to toggle source
Alias for: text
doctype(target, pub, sys) click to toggle source

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 149
    def doctype(target, pub, sys)
      add_child DocType.new(target, pub, sys)
    end

head(*args, &block) click to toggle source

Builds a head tag. Adds a `meta` tag inside with Content-Type set to `text/html; charset=utf-8`.

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 157
    def head(*args, &block)
      tag!(:head, *args) do
        tag!(:meta, "http-equiv" => "Content-Type", "content" => "text/html; charset=utf-8") if @output_meta_tag
        instance_eval(&block)
      end
    end

html_tag(sym, *args, &block) click to toggle source

Every HTML tag method goes through an html_tag call. So, calling `div` is equivalent to calling `html_tag(:div)`. All HTML tags in Hpricot's list are given generated wrappers for this method.

If the @auto_validation setting is on, this method will check for many common mistakes which could lead to invalid XHTML.

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 131
    def html_tag(sym, *args, &block)
      if @auto_validation and @tagset.self_closing.include?(sym) and block
        raise InvalidXhtmlError, "the `#{sym}' element is self-closing, please remove the block"
      elsif args.empty? and block.nil?
        CssProxy.new(self, sym)
      else
        tag!(sym, *args, &block)
      end
    end

tag!(tag, *args, &block) click to toggle source

Create a tag named `tag`. Other than the first argument which is the tag name, the arguments are the same as the tags implemented via method_missing.

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 64
    def tag!(tag, *args, &block)
      ele_id = nil
      if @auto_validation and @tagset
          if !@tagset.tagset.has_key?(tag)
              raise InvalidXhtmlError, "no element `#{tag}' for #{tagset.doctype}"
          elsif args.last.respond_to?(:to_hash)
              attrs = args.last.to_hash

              if @tagset.forms.include?(tag) and attrs[:id]
                attrs[:name] ||= attrs[:id]
              end

              attrs.each do |k, v|
                  atname = k.to_s.downcase.intern
                  unless k =~ /:/ or @tagset.tagset[tag].include? atname
                      raise InvalidXhtmlError, "no attribute `#{k}' on #{tag} elements"
                  end
                  if atname == :id
                      ele_id = v.to_s
                      if @elements.has_key? ele_id
                          raise InvalidXhtmlError, "id `#{ele_id}' already used (id's must be unique)."
                      end
                  end
              end
          end
      end

      # turn arguments into children or attributes
      childs = []
      attrs = args.grep(Hash)
      childs.concat((args - attrs).flatten.map do |x|
        if x.respond_to? :to_html
          Hpricot.make(x.to_html)
        elsif x
          Text.new(x.fast_xs)
        end
      end.flatten)
      attrs = attrs.inject({}) do |hsh, ath|
        ath.each do |k, v|
          hsh[k] = v.to_s.fast_xs if v
        end
        hsh
      end

      # create the element itself
      tag = tag.to_s
      f = Elem.new(tag, attrs, childs, ETag.new(tag))

      # build children from the block
      if block
        build(f, &block)
      end

      add_child f
      f
    end

text(string) click to toggle source

Write a `string` to the HTML stream without escaping it.

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 55
    def text(string)
      add_child Text.new(string)
      nil
    end

Also aliased as: <<, concat
text!(string) click to toggle source

Write a `string` to the HTML stream, making sure to escape it.

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 50
    def text!(string)
      add_child Text.new(string.fast_xs)
    end

xhtml_strict(attrs = {}, &block) click to toggle source

Builds an html tag with XHTML 1.0 Strict doctype instead.

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 173
    def xhtml_strict(attrs = {}, &block)
      # self.tagset = Hpricot::XHTMLStrict
      xhtml_html(attrs, &block)
    end

xhtml_transitional(attrs = {}, &block) click to toggle source

Builds an html tag. An XML 1.0 instruction and an XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype are prepended. Also assumes `:xmlns => "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", :lang => "en"`.

    # File lib/hpricot/builder.rb, line 167
    def xhtml_transitional(attrs = {}, &block)
      # self.tagset = Hpricot::XHTMLTransitional
      xhtml_html(attrs, &block)
    end
