29 * Create a new preprocessor object based on an initialised Parser object
31 * @param Parser $parser

43 * Create a new custom frame for programmatic use of parameter replacement
44 * as used in some extensions.

53 * Create a new custom node for programmatic use of parameter replacement
54 * as used in some extensions.

98 * Expand a document tree node
100 function expand( $root, $flags = 0 );

105 function implodeWithFlags( $sep, $flags /*, ... */ );
108 * Implode with no flags specified
110 function implode( $sep /*, ... */ );

116 function virtualImplode( $sep /*, ... */ );

121 function virtualBracketedImplode( $start, $sep, $end /*, ... */ );
124 * Returns true if there are no arguments in this frame
131 * Returns all arguments of this frame
133 function getArguments();
136 * Returns all numbered arguments of this frame

141 * Returns all named arguments of this frame
143 function getNamedArguments();
146 * Get an argument to this frame by name
148 function getArgument( $name );
151 * Returns true if the infinite loop check is OK, false if a loop is detected
153 * @param Title $title
156 function loopCheck( $title );
159 * Return true if the frame is a template frame
161 function isTemplate();
164 * Get a title of frame
172 * There are three types of nodes:
173 * * Tree nodes, which have a name and contain other nodes as children
174 * * Array nodes, which also contain other nodes but aren't considered part of a tree
175 * * Leaf nodes, which contain the actual data
177 * This interface provides access to the tree structure and to the contents of array nodes,
178 * but it does not provide access to the internal structure of leaf nodes. Access to leaf
179 * data is provided via two means:
180 * * PPFrame::expand(), which provides expanded text
181 * * The PPNode::split*() functions, which provide metadata about certain types of tree node
186 * Get an array-type node containing the children of this node.
187 * Returns false if this is not a tree node.
189 function getChildren();
192 * Get the first child of a tree node. False if there isn't one.
196 function getFirstChild();
199 * Get the next sibling of any node. False if there isn't one
201 function getNextSibling();
204 * Get all children of this tree node which have a given name.
205 * Returns an array-type node, or false if this is not a tree node.
207 function getChildrenOfType( $type );
210 * Returns the length of the array, or false if this is not an array-type node
212 function getLength();
215 * Returns an item of an array-type node
220 * Get the name of this node. The following names are defined here:
223 * template A double-brace node.
224 * tplarg A triple-brace node.
225 * title The first argument to a template or tplarg node.
226 * part Subsequent arguments to a template or tplarg node.
227 * #nodelist An array-type node
229 * The subclass may define various other names for tree and leaf nodes.
234 * Split a "<part>" node into an associative array containing:
242 * Split an "<ext>" node into an associative array containing name, attr, inner and close
243 * All values in the resulting array are PPNodes. Inner and close are optional.
248 * Split an "<h>" node
