Font::TTF::XMLparse(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioFont::TTF::XMLparse(3)

NAME
       Font::TTF::XMLparse - provides support for XML parsing. Requires Expat
       module XML::Parser::Expat

SYNOPSIS
	   use Font::TTF::Font;
	   use Font::TTF::XMLparse;

	   $f = Font::TTF::Font->new;
	   read_xml($f, $ARGV[0]);
	   $f->out($ARGV[1]);

DESCRIPTION
       This module contains the support routines for parsing XML and generat‐
       ing the Truetype font structures as a result. The module has been sepa‐
       rated from the rest of the package in order to reduce the dependency
       that this would bring, of the whole package on XML::Parser. This way,
       people without the XML::Parser can still use the rest of the package.

       The package interacts with another package through the use of a context
       containing and element 'receiver' which is an object which can possibly
       receive one of the following messages:

       XML_start
	   This message is called when an open tag occurs. It is called with
	   the context, tag name and the attributes. The return value has no
	   meaning.

       XML_end
	   This messages is called when a close tag occurs. It is called with
	   the context, tag name and attributes (held over from when the tag
	   was opened). There are 3 possible return values from such a mes‐
	   sage:

	   undef   This is the default return value indicating that default
		   processing should occur in which either the current element
		   on the tree, or the text of this element should be stored
		   in the parent object.

	   $context
		   This magic value marks that the element should be deleted
		   from the parent.  Nothing is stored in the parent. (This
		   rather than '' is used to allow 0 returns.)

	   anything
		   Anything else is taken as the element content to be stored
		   in the parent.

       In addition, the context hash passed to these messages contains the
       following keys:

       xml This is the expat xml object. The context is also available as
	   $context->{'xml'}{' mycontext'}. But that is a long winded way of
	   not saying much!

       font
	   This is the base object that was passed in for XML parsing.

       receiver
	   This holds the current receiver of parsing events. It may be set in
	   associated application to adjust which objects should receive mes‐
	   sages when. It is also stored in the parsing stack to ensure that
	   where an object changes it during XML_start, that that same object
	   that received XML_start will receive the corresponding XML_end

       stack
	   This is the parsing stack, used internally to hold the current
	   receiver and attributes for each element open, as a complete hier‐
	   archy back to the root element.

       tree
	   This element contains the storage tree corresponding to the parent
	   of each element in the stack. The default action is to push undef
	   onto this stack during XML_start and then to resolve this, either
	   in the associated application (by changing $context->{'tree'}[-1])
	   or during XML_end of a child element, by which time we know whether
	   we are dealing with an array or a hash or what.

       text
	   Character processing is to insert all the characters into the text
	   element of the context for available use later.
