Detailed Description

An end element is created when the parser reaches an end tag, for example $</a>$. An EndElement object only stores the name of the tag. To access the attributes of the tag the start tag has to be read. The body of the tag can be accessed by reading the previous Character node(s).

Use name() to get the name of the tag which was closed.

When parsing $test$ a StartElement, a Character and finally an EndElement node is created. If an empty tag is parsed, like for example $$, a StartElement and an EndElement is created.

EndElement* clone

(

)

const [virtual]

Returns:

A cloned version of this EndElement object.

Implements Node.

String& name

(

)

When parsing test a StartElement, a Character and finally an EndElement node is created. The EndElement has the name "a". If an empty tag is parsed, like for example , a StartElement and an EndElement ("a") is created.

Returns:

The tag name of the closing tag for which this EndElement object was created.

const String& name

(

)

const

When parsing test a StartElement, a Character and finally an EndElement node is created. The EndElement has the name "a". If an empty tag is parsed, like for example , a StartElement and an EndElement ("a") is created.

Returns:

The tag name of the closing tag for which this EndElement object was created.

void setName

(

const String

name

)

Parameters:

name

The new name for this EndElement object.

virtual bool operator==

(

const Node &

node

)

const [virtual]

This method returns $true$ if the given node also is a EndElement object and the name of both EndElement objects is the same. Otherwise it returns $false$.

Parameters:

node

This Node object is compared to the current EndElement node object.

Returns:

$true if this EndElement object is the same as the given node.
