79 * Return true if the frame is a template frame

85 * There are three types of nodes:
86 * * Tree nodes, which have a name and contain other nodes as children
87 * * Array nodes, which also contain other nodes but aren't considered part of a tree
88 * * Leaf nodes, which contain the actual data
90 * This interface provides access to the tree structure and to the contents of array nodes,
91 * but it does not provide access to the internal structure of leaf nodes. Access to leaf
92 * data is provided via two means:
93 * * PPFrame::expand(), which provides expanded text
94 * * The PPNode::split*() functions, which provide metadata about certain types of tree node
99 * Get an array-type node containing the children of this node.
100 * Returns false if this is not a tree node.
102 function getChildren();
105 * Get the first child of a tree node. False if there isn't one.
107 function getFirstChild();
110 * Get the next sibling of any node. False if there isn't one
112 function getNextSibling();
115 * Get all children of this tree node which have a given name.
116 * Returns an array-type node, or false if this is not a tree node.
118 function getChildrenOfType( $type );
122 * Returns the length of the array, or false if this is not an array-type node
124 function getLength();
127 * Returns an item of an array-type node
132 * Get the name of this node. The following names are defined here:
135 * template A double-brace node.
136 * tplarg A triple-brace node.
137 * title The first argument to a template or tplarg node.
138 * part Subsequent arguments to a template or tplarg node.
139 * #nodelist An array-type node
141 * The subclass may define various other names for tree and leaf nodes.
146 * Split a <part> node into an associative array containing:
154 * Split an <ext> node into an associative array containing name, attr, inner and close
155 * All values in the resulting array are PPNodes. Inner and close are optional.
