SYNOPSIS

my $string = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String
->new('Bonjour', 'fr');
print "$string\n";

DESCRIPTION

Constructor

"$str = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String->new($text, [$lang])"

Creates a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String object.

Public Methods

"$str->lang"

Return the language code.

"$str->to_string"

Return a plain (scalar) string.

Functions

"$str = ms($text, [$element])"

Construct a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String object from a scalar, plus XML::LibXML::Element. If $element is undef, then returns the plain (scalar) string itself.

This function is exported by default.

(Note: the name 'ms' originally stood for 'Magic String'.)

"isms($str)"

Returns true iff $str is blessed as a HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String object.

This function is exported by default.

"$c = concat($a, $b, [$reverse])"

Concatenates two strings.

If the language of string $b is null or the same as $a, then the resultant string has the same language as $a. Otherwise the result has no language.

If $reverse is true, then the strings are concatenated with $b preceding $a.

This function is not exported by default.

Can also be used as a method:

 $c = $a->concat($b);

"compare($a, $b)"

Compares two strings alphabetically. Language is ignored.

Return values are as per 'cmp' (see perlfunc).

This function is not exported by default.

Can also be used as a method:

 $a->compare($b);
