Re: XML_Functions

Nice to hear.. - I quite liked the original design, returning strings. - this as the default behaviour was very lightweight. I was hoping that returning XML_Tree etc. would be optional rather than default.. - one of the not soo highlighted aims of pear is to keep dependancies down to a minimum, where feasible... :) Regards Alan Guillaume Lecanu wrote:

- In addition to returning strings, It would nice if it could return XML_Tree / HTML_Template_Flexy_Element / HTML_Common ... etc. elements as well:

Why not, but this make dependecies on my packages..

very much optional deps... - existing package would work pefectly well without FastCreate... and FastCreate would work perfectly well without them...

I have made a new XML_FastCreate package :) Now, i use directly the XML_Tree structure, all elements are XML_Tree_Node objects. And i have add the support of a DTD. If precised, when you run $x->toXML(), the package make warnings if you have not respected the DTD file. Example : $x = new XML_FastCreate('xhtml1-strict.dtd'); $x->html(

    $x->head(
        $x->title('Examples of XML_FastCreate'),
    ),
        $x->body(
        $x->div(
            $x->h1("Examples of PEAR::XML_FastCreate package"),
             // Each elements are seperated by comma
            $x->ul(
                $x->li(
                    $x->span("Make valid XML document easyly")
                ),
                $x->li(
                    $x->span("Add control by DTD (with PEAR::XML_DTD)")
                ),
                $x->li(
                    $x->span("Each element are XML_Tree_Node object")
                )
            )
        ),
     )

); $x->toXML(); It's very simple :) I have 2/3 bugs to fix and i'll propose this package. But for now, i'm late (4h30 in France) so good night :) Regards, PS: Thanks Alan for all your advices about this package !
