Detailed Description

There are three types of nodes:

• Tree nodes, which have a name and contain other nodes as children
• Array nodes, which also contain other nodes but aren't considered part of a tree
• Leaf nodes, which contain the actual data

This interface provides access to the tree structure and to the contents of array nodes, but it does not provide access to the internal structure of leaf nodes. Access to leaf data is provided via two means:

• PPFrame::expand(), which provides expanded text
• The PPNode::split*() functions, which provide metadata about certain types of tree node

getChildrenOfType()

MediaWiki\Parser\PPNode::getChildrenOfType

(

$type

)

Get all children of this tree node which have a given name.

Returns an array-type node, or false if this is not a tree node.

Parameters

string

$type

The following names are defined here:

h A heading node. template A double-brace node. tplarg A triple-brace node. title The first argument to a template or tplarg node. part Subsequent arguments to a template or tplarg node. #nodelist An array-type node

The subclass may define various other names for tree and leaf nodes.
