Conversion options are parameters that determine the content, structure, and appearance of the XML output. For example, you can specify:
You can set the conversion options either in the API or in the template files. Regardless of the method used to set the options, the values are ultimately passed to the API and used to populate the following
XmlHeadingInfo
XmlOptionInfo
XmlTemplateInfo
XmlTOCOptionInfo
Use the following classes to set conversion options:
XmlHeadingInfo
XmlOptionInfo
XmlTemplateInfo
XmlTOCOptionInfo
There are methods to get or set the corresponding objects in the XmlExport
instance. In the XmlExport
class, the following methods are available:
getOptionInfo/setOptionInfo
getTemplateInfo/setTemplateInfo
getTOCOptionInfo/setTOCOptionInfo
In the XmlTOCOptionInfo
class, the following methods are available:
getXmlHeadingInfo
setXmlHeadingInfo
XML Export includes templates in the form of initialization files (.ini
). The templates provide a quick and easy way to modify the conversion options without programming at the API level. However, the template files do not give you complete control of the conversion process. To control some features, you must use the API directly.
You can use a text editor to customize the template files. For example, to change the output character set from the default KVCS_UNKNOWN
to KVCS_SJIS
in the default.ini
template, make the following change shown in bold:
[KVXMLOptions] eOutputCharSet=KVCS_SJIS bForceOutputCharSet=TRUE
To create valid XML, a template file must define at least two structures: KVXMLTemplateEx
and KVXMLOptionsEx
An application must then read the template file and write the data to the appropriate Export class. In the XmlTest
sample program, a template file is supplied as a command-line argument setIniFileName
method.
objXmlExport.setIniFileName(iniFile);
The template files for the Java API implementation are in the directory install\javaapi\ini\html
, where install
is the path name of the Export installation directory.
The following templates are provided for the Java implementation.
