Detailed Description

This class is a collection of static functions that serve two purposes:

1) Implement any algorithms specified by HTML5, or other HTML specifications, in a convenient and self-contained way.

2) Allow HTML elements to be conveniently and safely generated, like the current Xml class but a) less confused (Xml supports HTML-specific things, but only sometimes!) and b) not necessarily confined to XML-compatible output.

There are two important configuration options this class uses:

$wgMimeType: If this is set to an xml MIME type then output should be valid XHTML5.

This class is meant to be confined to utility functions that are called from trusted code paths. It does not do enforcement of policy like not allowing elements.

Member Function Documentation

◆ buttonAttributes()

static Html::buttonAttributes ( array  $attrs,
array  $modifiers = [] 
)
static

Modifies a set of attributes meant for button elements and apply a set of default attributes when $wgUseMediaWikiUIEverywhere enabled.

Parameters
array$attrsHTML attributes in an associative array
string[]$modifiersclasses to add to the button
See also
https://tools.wmflabs.org/styleguide/desktop/index.html for guidance on available modifiers
Returns
array $attrs A modified attribute array

Definition at line 109 of file Html.php.

References $wgUseMediaWikiUIEverywhere, and global.

◆ check()

static Html::check (   $name,
  $checked = false,
array  $attribs = [] 
)
static

Convenience function to produce a checkbox (input element with type=checkbox)

Parameters
string$nameName attribute
bool$checkedWhether the checkbox is checked or not
array$attribsArray of additional attributes
Returns
string Raw HTML

Definition at line 696 of file Html.php.

References $attribs, $name, and $value.

◆ closeElement()

static Html::closeElement (   $element)
static

Returns "</$element>".

Since
1.17
Parameters
string$elementName of the element, e.g., 'a'
Returns
string A closing tag

Definition at line 305 of file Html.php.

◆ dropDefaults()

static Html::dropDefaults (   $element,
array  $attribs 
)
staticprivate

Given an element name and an associative array of element attributes, return an array that is functionally identical to the input array, but possibly smaller.

In particular, attributes might be stripped if they are given their default values.

This method is not guaranteed to remove all redundant attributes, only some common ones and some others selected arbitrarily at random. It only guarantees that the output array should be functionally identical to the input array (currently per the HTML 5 draft as of 2009-09-06).

Parameters
string$elementName of the element, e.g., 'a'
array$attribsAssociative array of attributes, e.g., [ 'href' => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/' ]. See expandAttributes() for further documentation.
Returns
array An array of attributes functionally identical to $attribs

Definition at line 328 of file Html.php.

References $attribs, $type, $value, and as.

◆ element()

static Html::element (   $element,
  $attribs = [],
  $contents = '' 
)
static

Identical to rawElement(), but HTML-escapes $contents (like Xml::element()).

Parameters
string$element
array$attribs
string$contents
Returns
string

Definition at line 229 of file Html.php.

References $attribs.

◆ expandAttributes()

static Html::expandAttributes ( array  $attribs)
static

Given an associative array of element attributes, generate a string to stick after the element name in HTML output.

Like [ 'href' => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/' ] becomes something like ' href="http://www.mediawiki.org"'. Again, this is like Xml::expandAttributes(), but it implements some HTML-specific logic.

Attributes that can contain space-separated lists ('class', 'accesskey' and 'rel') array values are allowed as well, which will automagically be normalized and converted to a space-separated string. In addition to a numerical array, the attribute value may also be an associative array. See the example below for how that works.

Numerical array
Html::element( 'em', [
'class' => [ 'foo', 'bar' ]
] );
// gives '<em class="foo bar"></em>'
static element( $element, $attribs=[], $contents='')
Identical to rawElement(), but HTML-escapes $contents (like Xml::element()).
Definition Html.php:229
Associative array
Html::element( 'em', [
'class' => [ 'foo', 'bar', 'foo' => false, 'quux' => true ]
] );
// gives '<em class="bar quux"></em>'
Parameters
array$attribsAssociative array of attributes, e.g., [ 'href' => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/' ]. Values will be HTML-escaped. A value of false means to omit the attribute. For boolean attributes, you can omit the key, e.g., [ 'checked' ] instead of [ 'checked' => 'checked' ] or such.
Exceptions
MWExceptionIf an attribute that doesn't allow lists is set to an array
Returns
string HTML fragment that goes between element name and '>' (starting with a space if at least one attribute is output)

Definition at line 470 of file Html.php.

References $attribs, $ret, $value, and as.

◆ getTextInputAttributes()

static

Helper for Html::namespaceSelector().

Parameters
array$paramsSee Html::namespaceSelector()
Returns
array

Definition at line 794 of file Html.php.

References $options, $params, $wgContLang, as, global, NS_MAIN, and wfMessage().

◆ openElement()

static Html::openElement (   $element,
  $attribs = [] 
)
static

Identical to rawElement(), but has no third parameter and omits the end tag (and the self-closing '/' in XML mode for empty elements).

Parameters
string$element
array$attribs
Returns
string

Definition at line 247 of file Html.php.

References $attribs, and array().

◆ radio()

static Html::radio (   $name,
  $checked = false,
array  $attribs = [] 
)
static

Convenience function to produce a radio button (input element with type=radio)

Parameters
string$nameName attribute
bool$checkedWhether the radio button is checked or not
array$attribsArray of additional attributes
Returns
string Raw HTML

Definition at line 719 of file Html.php.

References $attribs, $name, and $value.

◆ rawElement()

static Html::rawElement (   $element,
  $attribs = [],
  $contents = '' 
)
static

Returns an HTML element in a string.

The major advantage here over manually typing out the HTML is that it will escape all attribute values.

This is quite similar to Xml::tags(), but it implements some useful HTML-specific logic. For instance, there is no $allowShortTag parameter: the closing tag is magically omitted if $element has an empty content model.

Parameters
string$elementThe element's name, e.g., 'a'
array$attribsAssociative array of attributes, e.g., [ 'href' => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/' ]. See expandAttributes() for further documentation.
string$contentsThe raw HTML contents of the element: not escaped!
Returns
string Raw HTML

Note
srcset width and height values are not supported.
