200 * Note that this is somewhat of a "hack" in order to make extensions
201 * with side effects (such as Cite) work with the PHP parser. New
202 * extensions should be written in a way that they do not need this

204 * to respect it, and it may be removed in the future.

222 * Get the TTL of the frame's output.
224 * This is the maximum amount of time, in seconds, that this frame's
225 * output should be cached for. A value of null indicates that no
226 * maximum has been specified.
228 * Note that this TTL only applies to caching frames as parts of pages.
229 * It is not relevant to caching the entire rendered output of a page.

255 * There are three types of nodes:
256 * * Tree nodes, which have a name and contain other nodes as children
257 * * Array nodes, which also contain other nodes but aren't considered part of a tree
258 * * Leaf nodes, which contain the actual data
260 * This interface provides access to the tree structure and to the contents of array nodes,
261 * but it does not provide access to the internal structure of leaf nodes. Access to leaf
262 * data is provided via two means:
263 * * PPFrame::expand(), which provides expanded text
264 * * The PPNode::split*() functions, which provide metadata about certain types of tree node
269 * Get an array-type node containing the children of this node.
270 * Returns false if this is not a tree node.
273 public function getChildren();

286 public function getNextSibling();
289 * Get all children of this tree node which have a given name.

291 * @param string $type
292 * @return bool|PPNode
294 public function getChildrenOfType( $type );
297 * Returns the length of the array, or false if this is not an array-type node
299 public function getLength();
302 * Returns an item of an array-type node
304 * @return bool|PPNode
306 public function item( $i );
309 * Get the name of this node. The following names are defined here:
312 * template A double-brace node.
313 * tplarg A triple-brace node.
314 * title The first argument to a template or tplarg node.
315 * part Subsequent arguments to a template or tplarg node.
316 * #nodelist An array-type node
318 * The subclass may define various other names for tree and leaf nodes.
321 public function getName();
324 * Split a "<part>" node into an associative array containing:
330 public function splitArg();
333 * Split an "<ext>" node into an associative array containing name, attr, inner and close
334 * All values in the resulting array are PPNodes. Inner and close are optional.

340 * Split an "<h>" node
