1 \subsection{Cells and Containers}\label{cells}
2
3 This article describes mechanism used by
4 \helpref{wxHtmlWinParser}{wxhtmlwinparser} and
5 \helpref{wxHtmlWindow}{wxhtmlwindow} to parse and display HTML documents.
6
7 \wxheading{Cells}
8
9 You can divide any text (or HTML) into small fragments. Let's call these
10 fragments {\bf cells}. Cell is for example one word, horizontal line, image
11 or any other part of document. Each cell has width and height (except special
12 "magic" cells with zero dimensions - e.g. colour changers or font changers).
13
14 See \helpref{wxHtmlCell}{wxhtmlcell}.
15
16 \wxheading{Containers}
17
18 Container is kind of cell that may contain sub-cells. Its size depends
19 on number and sizes of its sub-cells (and also depends on width of window).

30 \wxheading{Using Containers in Tag Handler}
31
32 \helpref{wxHtmlWinParser}{wxhtmlwinparser} provides a user-friendly way
33 of managing containers. It is based on the idea of opening and closing containers.
34
35 Use \helpref{OpenContainer}{wxhtmlwinparseropencontainer} to open new
36 a container {\it within an already opened container}. This new container is a
37 {\it sub-container} of the old one. (If you want to create a new container with
38 the same depth level you can call {\tt CloseContainer(); OpenContainer();}.)
39
40 Use \helpref{CloseContainer}{wxhtmlwinparserclosecontainer} to close the
41 container. This doesn't create a new container with same depth level but
42 it returns "control" to the parent container.

50 It is clear there must be same number of calls to
51 OpenContainer as to CloseContainer...
52
53 \wxheading{Example}
54
55 This code creates a new paragraph (container at same depth level)
56 with "Hello, world!":
57
58 \begin{verbatim}
59 m_WParser -> CloseContainer();
60 c = m_WParser -> OpenContainer();
61
62 m_WParser -> AddWord("Hello, ");
63 m_WParser -> AddWord("world!");
64
65 m_WParser -> CloseContainer();
66 m_WParser -> OpenContainer();
67 \end{verbatim}

70 % Bitmap corrupt!
71 and here is image of the situation:
72
73 \helponly{\image{}{hello.bmp}}
74 \end{comment}

76 You can see that there was opened container before running the code. We closed
77 it, created our own container, then closed our container and opened
78 new container. The result was that we had {\it same depth level} after
79 executing. This is general rule that should be followed by tag handlers:
80 leave depth level of containers unmodified (in other words, number of
81 OpenContainer and CloseContainer calls should be same within \helpref{HandleTag}{wxhtmltaghandlerhandletag}'s body).
