see Enumerator#with_object.

Replaces this object with another object. Basically, calls Parent.replace_child

Returns

self

Adds a child to this element, optionally setting attributes in the element.

element

optional. If Element, the element is added. Otherwise, a new Element is constructed with the argument (see Element.initialize).

attrs

If supplied, must be a Hash containing String name,value pairs, which will be used to set the attributes of the new Element.

Returns

the Element that was added

el = doc.add_element 'my-tag'
el = doc.add_element 'my-tag', {'attr1'=>'val1', 'attr2'=>'val2'}
el = Element.new 'my-tag'
doc.add_element el

Deletes a child element.

element

Must be an Element, String, or Integer. If Element, the element is removed. If String, the element is found (via XPath) and removed. <em>This means that any parent can remove any descendant.<em> If Integer, the Element indexed by that number will be removed.

Returns

the element that was removed.

doc.delete_element "/a/b/c[@id='4']"
doc.delete_element doc.elements["//k"]
doc.delete_element 1

Evaluates to true if this element has at least one child Element

doc = Document.new "<a><b/><c>Text</c></a>"
doc.root.has_elements               # -> true
doc.elements["/a/b"].has_elements   # -> false
doc.elements["/a/c"].has_elements   # -> false

Synonym for Element.elements.each

Synonym for Element.to_a This is a little slower than calling elements.each directly.

xpath

any XPath by which to search for elements in the tree

Returns

an array of Elements that match the supplied path

Returns the next sibling that is an element, or nil if there is no Element sibling after this one

doc = Document.new '<a><b/>text<c/></a>'
doc.root.elements['b'].next_element          #-> <c/>
doc.root.elements['c'].next_element          #-> nil

Returns the previous sibling that is an element, or nil if there is no Element sibling prior to this one

doc = Document.new '<a><b/>text<c/></a>'
doc.root.elements['c'].previous_element          #-> <b/>
doc.root.elements['b'].previous_element          #-> nil

Evaluates to true if this element has any attributes set, false otherwise.

Adds an attribute to this element, overwriting any existing attribute by the same name.

key

can be either an Attribute or a String. If an Attribute, the attribute is added to the list of Element attributes. If String, the argument is used as the name of the new attribute, and the value parameter must be supplied.

value

Required if key is a String, and ignored if the first argument is an Attribute. This is a String, and is used as the value of the new Attribute. This should be the unnormalized value of the attribute (without entities).

Returns

the Attribute added

e = Element.new 'e'
e.add_attribute( 'a', 'b' )               #-> <e a='b'/>
e.add_attribute( 'x:a', 'c' )             #-> <e a='b' x:a='c'/>
e.add_attribute Attribute.new('b', 'd')   #-> <e a='b' x:a='c' b='d'/>

Add multiple attributes to this element.

hash

is either a hash, or array of arrays

el.add_attributes( {"name1"=>"value1", "name2"=>"value2"} )
el.add_attributes( [ ["name1","value1"], ["name2"=>"value2"] ] )

Removes an attribute

key

either an Attribute or a String. In either case, the attribute is found by matching the attribute name to the argument, and then removed. If no attribute is found, no action is taken.

Returns

the attribute removed, or nil if this Element did not contain a matching attribute

e = Element.new('E')
e.add_attribute( 'name', 'Sean' )             #-> <E name='Sean'/>
r = e.add_attribute( 'sur:name', 'Russell' )  #-> <E name='Sean' sur:name='Russell'/>
e.delete_attribute( 'name' )                  #-> <E sur:name='Russell'/>
e.delete_attribute( r )                       #-> <E/>

Iterates over the attributes of an Element. Yields actual Attribute nodes, not String values.

doc = Document.new '<a x="1" y="2"/>'
doc.root.attributes.each_attribute {|attr|
  p attr.expanded_name+" => "+attr.value
}

Fetches an attribute

name

the name by which to search for the attribute. Can be a prefix:name namespace name.

Returns

The first matching attribute, or nil if there was none. This

value is an Attribute node, not the String value of the attribute.

doc = Document.new '<a x:foo="1" foo="2" bar="3"/>'
doc.root.attributes.get_attribute("foo").value    #-> "2"
doc.root.attributes.get_attribute("x:foo").value  #-> "1"

Generates a Source object @param arg Either a String, or an IO @return a Source, or nil if a bad argument was given
