## Class ToHTMLSAXHandler

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.xml.serializer.SerializerBase
  - - org.apache.xml.serializer.ToSAXHandler
    - - org.apache.xml.serializer.ToHTMLSAXHandler

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    DOMSerializer, ExtendedContentHandler, ExtendedLexicalHandler, SerializationHandler, Serializer, ContentHandler, DTDHandler, ErrorHandler, DeclHandler, LexicalHandler

  Deprecated.
  As of Xalan 2.7.1, replaced by the use of `ToXMLSAXHandler`.

      public final class ToHTMLSAXHandler
      extends ToSAXHandler

  This class accepts SAX-like calls, then sends true SAX calls to a wrapped SAX handler. There is optimization done knowing that the ultimate output is HTML. This class is not a public API.
  Usage:
    **For internal use only**

                          throws SAXException

      Deprecated.
      Receive notification of the end of an element.

      The SAX parser will invoke this method at the end of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding startElement() event for every endElement() event (even when the element is empty).

      If the element name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will still be attached to the name.

      Parameters:
        `uri` - The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed.
        `localName` - The local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.
        `qName` - The qualified name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available.
      Throws:
        `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

      Deprecated.
      Does nothing.
      Parameters:

      Throws:
        `SAXException` - the client may throw an exception during processing

                                 int length)

      Deprecated.
      Does nothing.
      Parameters:
        `ch` - the characters from the XML document

      See Also:
        `ContentHandler.ignorableWhitespace(char[], int, int)`

    - #### processingInstruction

          public void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                   java.lang.String data)
                                     throws SAXException

      Deprecated.
      Receive notification of a processing instruction.

      The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found: note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document element.

      A SAX parser should never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.

      Specified by:
        `processingInstruction` in interface `ContentHandler`
      Overrides:
        `processingInstruction` in class `ToSAXHandler`
      Parameters:
        `target` - The processing instruction target.
        `data` - The processing instruction data, or null if none was supplied.
      Throws:
        `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
        `SAXException`
      See Also:
        `ContentHandler.processingInstruction(String, String)`

    - #### setDocumentLocator

          public void setDocumentLocator(Locator arg0)

      Deprecated.
      Does nothing.
      Specified by:
        `setDocumentLocator` in interface `ContentHandler`
      Overrides:
        `setDocumentLocator` in class `SerializerBase`
      Parameters:
        `arg0` - An object that can return the location of any SAX document event. Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

        SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler interface.

        The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

        Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.

      See Also:
        `ContentHandler.setDocumentLocator(Locator)`

    - #### skippedEntity

          public void skippedEntity(java.lang.String arg0)
                             throws SAXException

      Deprecated.
      Does nothing.
      Parameters:
        `arg0` - the name of the skipped entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be the string "[dtd]"
      Throws:
        `SAXException` - any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception
      See Also:
        `ContentHandler.skippedEntity(String)`

    - #### startElement

                          throws SAXException

      Deprecated.
      Receive notification of character data.

      The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

      The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

      Note that some parsers will report whitespace using the ignorableWhitespace() method rather than this one (validating parsers must do so).

      Parameters:
        `ch` - The characters from the XML document.
        `off` - The start position in the array.
        `len` - The number of characters to read from the array.
      Throws:
        `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

                                     throws SAXException

      Deprecated.
      Handle a prefix/uri mapping, which is associated with a startElement() that is soon to follow. Need to close any open start tag to make sure than any name space attributes due to this event are associated wih the up comming element, not the current one.
      Parameters:
        `prefix` - The Namespace prefix being declared.
        `uri` - The Namespace URI the prefix is mapped to.
        `shouldFlush` - true if any open tags need to be closed first, this will impact which element the mapping applies to (open parent, or its up comming child)
      Returns:
        returns true if the call made a change to the current namespace information, false if it did not change anything, e.g. if the prefix/namespace mapping was already in scope from before.
      Throws:
        `SAXException` - The client may throw an exception during processing.

      Deprecated.
      Begin the scope of a prefix-URI Namespace mapping just before another element is about to start. This call will close any open tags so that the prefix mapping will not apply to the current element, but the up comming child.

        `uri` - The Namespace URI the prefix is mapped to.
      Throws:

      Deprecated.
      This method is used when a prefix/uri namespace mapping is indicated after the element was started with a startElement() and before and endElement(). startPrefixMapping(prefix,uri) would be used before the startElement() call.

      Overrides:
        `namespaceAfterStartElement` in class `SerializerBase`
