XHTML Serializer
Warning
Note that this is a change from all versions prior to 1.13.0.
XHTMLSerializers are similar to the HTMLSerializer except that they produce valid XHTML
as an XML document. For example:
<map:components>
...
<map:serializers default="xml">
<map:serializer
name="xhtml"
mime-type="text/html" src="resource://lib/serialization/XHTMLSerializer">
<map:property name="doctype-public" value="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"/>
<map:property name="doctype-system" value="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"/>
<map:property name="encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
</map:serializer>
</map:serializers>
</map:components>
<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="*.html">
<!-- generate -->
<!-- some transformations -->
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
</map:pipelines>
Again, given a suitable HTML input this would produce:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<!-- Remaining head tags from DOM -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- Remaining body tags from DOM -->
</body>
</html>
A typical use of the serializer would be:
<map:components>
...
<map:serializers default="xml">
<map:serializer name="xhtml" src="resource://lib/serialization/XHTMLSerializer">
<doctype-public>-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN</doctype-public>
<doctype-system>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd</doctype-system>
<encoding>iso-8859-1</encoding>
</map:serializer>
</map:serializers>
</map:components>
<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="*.html">
<!-- generate -->
<!-- some transformations -->
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
</map:pipelines>
