## Detailed Description

XML Parser for Ipe documents and style sheets.

A recursive descent parser for the XML streams.

After experimenting with various XML parsing frameworks, this turned out to work best for Ipe.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum ipe::ImlParser::Errors

Enumerator:

  ESuccess |
  EVersionTooOld |
  EVersionTooRecent |
  ESyntaxError |

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ImlParser::ImlParser | ( | DataSource & | source | ) | `[explicit]`

## Member Function Documentation

int ImlParser::parseDocument | ( | Document & | doc | ) |

Read a complete document from IML stream.

Returns an error code.

bool ImlParser::parsePage | ( | Page & | page | ) |

Parse an Page.

On calling, stream must be just past `page`.

Object * ImlParser::parseObject | ( | String | tag,
|  | Page * | page = `0`,
|  | int * | currentLayer = `0`
| ) |  |

parse an Object.

On calling, stream must be just past the tag.

StyleSheet * ImlParser::parseStyleSheet | ( |  | ) |

parse a complete style sheet.

On calling, stream must be before the 'ipestyle' tag. A <?xml> tag is allowed.

bool ImlParser::parseStyle | ( | StyleSheet & | sheet | ) |

Parse a style sheet.

On calling, stream must be just past the style tag.

Page * ImlParser::parsePageSelection | ( |  | ) |

parse an `` <ipepage> element (used on clipboard).

Buffer ImlParser::pdfStream | ( | int | objNum | ) | `[virtual]`

XML contents can refer to data in PDF.

If the XML stream is embedded in a PDF file, XML contents can refer to PDF objects. A derived parser must implement this method to access PDF data.

It is assumed that PDF object objNum is a stream. Its contents (uncompressed!) is returned in a buffer.

bool ImlParser::parseBitmap | ( |  | ) |

Parse an Bitmap.

On calling, stream must be just past `bitmap`.

bool ipe::ImlParser::parseFontmap | ( | String * | stdNames,
|  | String * | paths
| ) |  |
