HTMLCreator is a FeedCreator that writes an HTML feed file to a specific location, overriding the createFeed method of the parent FeedCreator.

The HTML produced can be included over http by scripting languages, or serve as the source for an IFrame. All output by this class is embedded in <div></div> tags to enable formatting using CSS.

mixed $contentType = "text/html" (line 1385)

Redefined in descendants as:

• JSCreator::$contentType

mixed $footer (line 1395)

Contains HTML to be output at the end of the feed's html representation.

mixed $header (line 1390)

Contains HTML to be output at the start of the feed's html representation.

mixed $imageAlign = "right" (line 1414)

mixed $openInNewWindow = true (line 1412)

Determines whether the links open in a new window or not.

mixed $separator (line 1401)

Contains HTML to be output between entries. A separator is only used in case of multiple entries.

mixed $stylelessOutput = "" (line 1423)

In case of very simple output you may want to get rid of the style tags,

hence this variable. There's no equivalent on item level, but of course you can add strings to it while iterating over the items ($this->stylelessOutput .= ...) and when it is non-empty, ONLY the styleless output is printed, the rest is ignored in the function createFeed().

mixed $stylePrefix (line 1407)

Used to prefix the stylenames to make sure they are unique and do not clash with stylenames on the users' page.
