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.

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

static

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

Parameters

string	$element	Name of the element, e.g., 'a'
array	$attribs	Associative array of attributes, e.g., [ 'href' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/' ]. See expandAttributes() for further documentation.

◆ expandAttributes()

static MediaWiki\Html\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' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/' ] becomes something like ' href="https://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>'

MediaWiki\Html\Html\element
static element( $element, $attribs=[], $contents='')
Identical to rawElement(), but HTML-escapes $contents (like Xml::element()).
Definition: Html.php:240

Associative array: Html::element( 'em', [

'class' => [ 'foo', 'bar', 'foo' => false, 'quux' => true ]

] );

// gives '<em class="bar quux"></em>'

Parameters

array $attribs Associative array of attributes, e.g., [ 'href' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/' ]. Values will be HTML-escaped. A value of false or null means to omit the attribute. For boolean attributes, you can omit the key, e.g., [ 'checked' ] instead of [ 'checked' => 'checked' ] or such.

Exceptions

MWException If 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)

◆ inlineScript()

static MediaWiki\Html\Html::inlineScript	(	$contents,
		$nonce = `null`
	)

static

Output an HTML script tag with the given contents.

It is unsupported for the contents to contain the sequence <script or </script (case-insensitive). This ensures the script can be terminated easily and consistently.

Parameters

string	$name	Name attribute
bool	$checked	Whether the radio button is checked or not
array	$attribs	Array of additional attributes

Returns: string Raw HTML

Definition at line 820 of file Html.php.

◆ rawElement()

static MediaWiki\Html\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	$element	The element's name, e.g., 'a'
array	$attribs	Associative array of attributes, e.g., [ 'href' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/' ]. See expandAttributes() for further documentation.
string	$contents	The raw HTML contents of the element: not escaped!

Returns: string Raw HTML

Definition at line 219 of file Html.php.

References MediaWiki\Html\Html\closeElement(), and MediaWiki\Html\Html\openElement().

◆ srcSet()

Generates a srcset attribute value from an array mapping pixel densities to URLs. A trailing 'x' in pixel density values is optional.

Note: srcset width and height values are not supported.

See also: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#attr-img-srcset

Example:: Html::srcSet( [

'1x' => 'standard.jpeg',

'1.5x' => 'large.jpeg',

'3x' => 'extra-large.jpeg',

] );

// gives 'standard.jpeg 1x, large.jpeg 1.5x, extra-large.jpeg 2x'

Definition: Html.php:1096

Parameters
