Enum Format.TextMode

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<Format.TextMode>

org.jdom2.output.Format.TextMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Format.TextMode>

Enclosing class:

Format

public static enum Format.TextMode
extends java.lang.Enum<Format.TextMode>

Class to signify how text should be handled on output. The following table provides details.

Text Mode	Resulting behavior.
PRESERVE (Default)	All content is printed in the format it was created, no whitespace or line separators are are added or removed.
TRIM_FULL_WHITE	Content between tags consisting of all whitespace is not printed. If the content contains even one non-whitespace character, it is all printed verbatim, whitespace and all.
TRIM	All leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed.
NORMALIZE	Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed, and any 'internal' whitespace is compressed to a single space.

In most cases textual content is aligned with the surrounding tags (after the appropriate text mode is applied). In the case where the only content between the start and end tags is textual, the start tag, text, and end tag are all printed on the same line. If the document being output already has whitespace, it's wise to turn on TRIM mode so the pre-existing whitespace can be trimmed before adding new whitespace.

When an element has a xml:space attribute with the value of "preserve", all formatting is turned off (actually, the TextMode is set to PRESERVE until the element and its contents have been printed. If a nested element contains another xml:space with the value "default" formatting is turned back on for the child element and then off for the remainder of the parent element.

Method Detail

values

public static Format.TextMode[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Format.TextMode c : Format.TextMode.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Format.TextMode valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
