(Visual FoxPro) Drop/Undrop Text Formatting Tags

Demonstrates how the DropTextFormattingTags and UndropTextFormattingTags methods work in the Html-to-Xml API.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads

ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

LOCAL lcHtml
LOCAL loH2x

* This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

lcHtml = "<html><body><p><b>Hello</b> World!<p>This is a test</body></html>"

* Convert the above to XML
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.HtmlToXml')
loH2x = CreateObject('Chilkat.HtmlToXml')

* By default, text formatting tags are dropped. Text formatting HTML tags are: b, font, i, u, br, center, em, strong, big, tt, s, small, strike, sub, and sup
loH2x.Html = lcHtml
? loH2x.ToXml()

* The resulting XML is:

* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
* <root>
*     <html>
*         <body>
*             <p>
*                 <text>Hello World!</text>
*             </p>
*             <p>
*                 <text>This is a test</text>
*             </p>
*         </body>
*     </html>
* </root>

* To preserve text formatting tags, put the h2x instance into the mode where text formatting tags are not dropped:
loH2x.UndropTextFormattingTags()

* Convert again to see the difference:
? loH2x.ToXml()

* The resulting XML is:

* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
* <root>
*     <html>
*         <body>
*             <p>
*                 <b>
*                     <text>Hello</text>
*                 </b>
*                 <text> World!</text>
*             </p>
*             <p>
*                 <text>This is a test</text>
*             </p>
*         </body>
*     </html>
* </root>

* Call DropTextFormattingTags to put the h2x instance back in "drop" mode.
loH2x.DropTextFormattingTags()

* Convert again to see the difference:
? loH2x.ToXml()

* The resulting XML is:

* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
* <root>
*     <html>
*         <body>
*             <p>
*                 <text>Hello World!</text>
*             </p>
*             <p>
*                 <text>This is a test</text>
*             </p>
*         </body>
*     </html>
* </root>
