100 * There are three types of nodes:
101 * * Tree nodes, which have a name and contain other nodes as children
102 * * Array nodes, which also contain other nodes but aren't considered part of a tree
103 * * Leaf nodes, which contain the actual data
105 * This interface provides access to the tree structure and to the contents of array nodes,
106 * but it does not provide access to the internal structure of leaf nodes. Access to leaf
107 * data is provided via two means:
108 * * PPFrame::expand(), which provides expanded text
109 * * The PPNode::split*() functions, which provide metadata about certain types of tree node
114 * Get an array-type node containing the children of this node.
115 * Returns false if this is not a tree node.
117 function getChildren();
120 * Get the first child of a tree node. False if there isn't one.
122 function getFirstChild();
125 * Get the next sibling of any node. False if there isn't one
127 function getNextSibling();
130 * Get all children of this tree node which have a given name.
131 * Returns an array-type node, or false if this is not a tree node.
133 function getChildrenOfType( $type );
137 * Returns the length of the array, or false if this is not an array-type node
139 function getLength();
142 * Returns an item of an array-type node
147 * Get the name of this node. The following names are defined here:
150 * template A double-brace node.
151 * tplarg A triple-brace node.
152 * title The first argument to a template or tplarg node.
153 * part Subsequent arguments to a template or tplarg node.
154 * #nodelist An array-type node
156 * The subclass may define various other names for tree and leaf nodes.
161 * Split a <part> node into an associative array containing:
169 * Split an <ext> node into an associative array containing name, attr, inner and close
170 * All values in the resulting array are PPNodes. Inner and close are optional.
