Summary

Abstract base class for an HTML tag.

Remarks

The following types are supported in tag contents:

• string

  outputs that string (HTML-escaped, of course)

• Tag

  outputs that tag and its contents

• IEnumerable<T>

  enumerates all contained objects and recursively processes them individually

• Func<T> (or any other delegate with no parameters)

  calls the delegate and recursively processes the return value

Using lazy-evaluated IEnumerable<T>s and/or delegates is a convenient way to defer execution to ensure maximally responsive output.

Constructors

Tag()	Constructor.
Tag(object[] contents)
Tag(IEnumerable contents)

Instance methods

Tag	_(params object[] contents)	Sets the contents of the tag. Any objects are allowed.
Tag	_(params Func<object>[] contents)	Sets the contents of the tag using lazy evaluation.
Tag	_(IEnumerable contents)	Sets the contents of the tag. Any objects are allowed.
void	Add(object content)	Adds stuff at the end of the contents of this tag (a string, a tag, a collection of strings or of tags).
Tag	Data(string key, object value)	Specifies a data attribute for this tag.
IEnumerable<string>	ToEnumerable(bool allTags = false) Virtual	Outputs this tag and all its contents.
string	ToString() Overrides: object.ToString()	Converts the entire tag tree into a single string.
string	ToString(bool allTags)
void	WriteToFile(string filename, bool allTags = false)	Creates a new file and outputs this tag and all its contents to it.

Static methods

Tag	HtmlDocument(object title, params object[] bodyContent)	Creates a simple HTML document from the specified elements.
Tag	HtmlTable(string classOnAllTags, params object[][] rows)	Special method to help construct an HTML <TABLE> element without needing to manually instantiate all intermediate row and cell tags.
IEnumerable<string>	ToEnumerable(object tagTree, bool allTags = false)	Converts a tag tree into a string that is generated bit by bit.
RawTag	ToRaw(object tagTree)	Converts a tag tree into a raw tag which would render exactly the same as the tag tree.
RawTag	ToRaw(params object[] tagTree)
string	ToString(object tagTree, bool allTags = false)	Converts a tag tree into a single string.

Instance properties

bool	EndTag Virtual	Whether the end tag should be printed.
bool	StartTag Virtual	Whether the start tag should be printed. If the tag has attributes, it will be printed regardless.
string	TagName Abstract	Name of the tag.
