#
# Revision 1.33  2001/02/21 11:40:47  jerome
# - version number changed to 2.20
# - basic arithmetic operations can now be made on XML_document
#   instances, these constructs are now accepted:
#
#   firstdoc + seconddoc
#   seconddoc + firstdoc
#
#   Where firstdoc is an instance of XML_document
#   or one of its subclasses, and seconddoc is
#   either an instance of XML_document or one of
#   its subclasses or a string of text.
#
#   yourdoc * intvalue
#   intvalue * yourdoc
#
#   Will repeat your document just like the * operator
#   works with strings of text.
#
# - an infinite loop problem occured when doing a dir(yourdoc),
#   it is now corrected, but as a consequences every method
#   name beginning with "__" can't be used as a tag name.
#   This shouldn't cause any problem, because tag names
#   beginning with "__" are probably a very bad idea, if allowed
#   at all.
# - an _updatemapping method was added to allow you to initialise
#   or update the internal mapping used for the new templating
#   facility.

This python module defines a class named XML_document which will
allow you to generate XML documents (yeah !) more easily than
using print or similar functions.

Here's a list of available methods:
===================================

        __init__(version, encoding)
                The instance constructor, automatically called
                when you create a new instance of XML_document.
                you can optionnally pass a version and encoding
                string, the defaults are "1.0" and "iso-8859-1".

        _indentstring(istr)
                istr is the new indentation string used
                to nicely present your XML documents. By
                default istr is equal to 4 space characters.

        _output(filearg)
                use it to save the XML document to a file.
                The optionnal filearg argument may be:
                    None, "", or "-" which stands for sys.stdout.
                    a file name.
                    any file object.

        _text(sometext)
                use it to insert plain text at the current position
                in the document.

        _push()
                saves the current position in the XML document.
                use it if you're going to create a bunch of nested
                XML tags and want to escape from them later to continue
                your document at the same indentation level.
                you can pass an optional 'name' argument, to mark
                a position by its name.

        _pop()
                restores the latest saved position.
                use it to escape from nested tags and continue
                your XML document at the same indentation level than
                the latest time you called _push().
                you can pass an optional 'name' argument, to continue
                at the same indentation level as when you called _push()
                with the same 'name' argument.

        _template(file, **vars)
                loads a template file and insert it as plain text at the current
                position in the document, replacing ##varname## variables
                in the template file with their corresponding value passed
                in vars[varname]

        _updatemapping(newmap)
                updates the internal mapping used for replacing some strings with
                others when rendering. This can be used as an easy way to
                do templating without the need of an external file.
                Pass None or no argument to reset the mapping to an empty one.
                This method returns the new mapping's content.

        Some more methods are available but not meant to be used directly, they
are: __nonzero__, __getitem__, __setitem__, __delitem__, __coerce__, __add__,
__radd__, __mul__, __rmul__, and __copy__. They are used automatically when doing
special things, read the source for details.

        ANY and ALL other method you may call will be treated as an XML
tag, unless it already exists as a method in XML_document or a subclass of it,
or its name begins with "__". I suggest you to only add methods whose names
begin with '_' to keep things simple and clear: "__" is reserved for future
use.

The file test/test.py is an example program which generates
some documents, just play with it (use and modify) and you'll
learn quickly how to use jaxml. Its source code is documented and
attempts at describing and trying all jaxml's possibilities, so reading
it is probably the best way to become powerful with jaxml in less than
10 minutes.

Really, PLEASE READ the file test/test.py to learn all possibilities.

=========================================================================

Since version 2.00, jaxml integrates the full functionnalities of the
old jahtml module via the HTML_document and CGI_document classes, however
the API for these two classes has changed to be cleaner and don't use any
predefined set of tags.

The HTML_document() and CGI_document() classes both inherit from XML_document()
and all its methods (see above), but also feature some useful helper methods.

Please read the jaxml module sources and the test/test.py program to learn how
to use them.

=========================================================================

The only difficult things are:
------------------------------

        * you have to use the _push() and _pop() methods if you need
          to get out of a bunch of nested tags.

        * if you call a method (tag) with a string as the first
          unnamed parameter, you'll don't need _push() or _pop()
          because your tag will be automatically closed immediately.
          
        * if you call a method (tag) with a python mapping as the
          first or second unamed parameter, this mapping is used
          to correctly handle XML namespaces or attributes
          which are python reserved words (e.g. class), please
          look at test/test.py to see an example.
