mkdoc::xml::decode

MKDoc::XML::Decode(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   MKDoc::XML::Decode(3pm)

NAME

       MKDoc::XML::Decode - Expands XML entities

SYNOPSIS

	 use MKDoc::XML::Decode;
	 my $decode = new MKDoc::XML::Decode qw/xml xhtml numeric/;

	 # $xml is now "Chris' Baloon"
	 my $xml = MKDoc::XML::Decode->process ("Chris&apos; Baloon");

SUMMARY

       MKDoc::XML::Decode is a very simple module with pluggable entity decoding mechanism.  At the moment there are three modules:

       xml     - Decodes &apos; &quot; &gt; &lt; and &amp; xhtml   - Decodes XHTML entities such as &eacute; numeric - Decodes numeric entities
       such as &#65;

       That's it.

       This module and its counterpart MKDoc::XML::Encode are used by MKDoc::XML::Dumper to XML-encode and XML-decode litterals.

API

   my $decode_object = new MKDoc::XML::Decode (@modules);
       Constructs a new decode object using the modules specified in @modules.

   my $decoded = $decode_object->decode ($stuff);
       Decodes $stuff and returns it into $decoded.

       Any entity which is not recognized will be returned as is but will trigger a warning.
