Method Details

convert

T convert(ContentNode node,
 String transform,
 Map<Object,Object> opts)

Converts an ContentNode using the specified transform along with additional options. If a transform is not specified, implementations typically derive one from the ContentNode.getNodeName() property.

Implementations are free to decide how to carry out the conversion. In the case of the built-in converters, the tranform value is used to dispatch to a handler method. The TemplateConverter uses the value of the transform to select a template to render.

Parameters:

node - The concrete instance of FlowNode to convert

transform - An optional String transform that hints at which transformation should be applied to this node. If a transform is not specified, the transform is typically derived from the value of the node's node_name property. (optional, default: null)

opts - An optional map of options that provide additional hints about how to convert the node. (optional, default: empty map)

Returns:

the converted result

getOptions

Map<String,Object> getOptions()

setOutfileSuffix

void setOutfileSuffix(String outfilesuffix)

To change the extension of the generated file invoke this method in the constructor of the converter implementation. The default extension is .html.

Parameters:

outfilesuffix - The file extension for the generated file, e.g. .txt

getOutfileSuffix

String getOutfileSuffix()

Returns:

The file extension of the generated files.
