Results for: "slice"

Returns the namespace URL, if defined, or nil otherwise

e = Element.new("el")
e.add_namespace("ns", "http://url")
e.add_attribute("ns:a", "b")
e.add_attribute("nsx:a", "c")
e.attribute("ns:a").namespace # => "http://url"
e.attribute("nsx:a").namespace # => nil

This method always returns “” for no namespace attribute. Because the default namespace doesn’t apply to attribute names.

> the default namespace does not apply to attribute names

e = REXML::Element.new("el")
e.add_namespace("", "http://example.com/")
e.namespace # => "http://example.com/"
e.add_attribute("a", "b")
e.attribute("a").namespace # => ""

Evaluates to true if whitespace is respected for this element. This is the case if:

1. Neither :respect_whitespace nor :compress_whitespace has any value

2. The context has :respect_whitespace set to :all or an array containing the name of this element, and :compress_whitespace isn’t set to :all or an array containing the name of this element.

The evaluation is tested against expanded_name, and so is namespace sensitive.

Evaluates to the URI for a prefix, or the empty string if no such namespace is declared for this element. Evaluates recursively for ancestors. Returns the default namespace, if there is one.

prefix

the prefix to search for. If not supplied, returns the default namespace if one exists

Returns

the namespace URI as a String, or nil if no such namespace exists. If the namespace is undefined, returns an empty string

doc = Document.new("<a xmlns='1' xmlns:y='2'><b/><c xmlns:z='3'/></a>")
b = doc.elements['//b']
b.namespace           # -> '1'
b.namespace("y")      # -> '2'

Evaluates to the unnormalized value of this entity; that is, replacing all entities – both %ent; and &ent; entities. This differs from +value()+ in that value only replaces %ent; entities.

Returns the value of this entity unprocessed – raw. This is the normalized value; that is, with all %ent; and &ent; entities intact

A predicate filters a node-set with respect to an axis to produce a new node-set. For each node in the node-set to be filtered, the PredicateExpr is evaluated with that node as the context node, with the number of nodes in the node-set as the context size, and with the proximity position of the node in the node-set with respect to the axis as the context position; if PredicateExpr evaluates to true for that node, the node is included in the new node-set; otherwise, it is not included.

A PredicateExpr is evaluated by evaluating the Expr and converting the result to a boolean. If the result is a number, the result will be converted to true if the number is equal to the context position and will be converted to false otherwise; if the result is not a number, then the result will be converted as if by a call to the boolean function. Thus a location path para is equivalent to para.

Escapes all possible entities

Unescapes all possible entities

Builds a nodeset of all of the preceding nodes of the supplied node, in reverse document order

preceding

includes every element in the document that precedes this node,

except for ancestors

Marks this TupleEntry as canceled.

A TupleEntry is dead when it is canceled or expired.

Returns the canceled status.
