Creation

Description

htmlPageObj = mlreportgen.dom.HTMLPage creates an empty HTMLPage object that generates an HTML file. By default, the filename is the Document name appended with the page number, except for the first page, which is root.html. Use its append method to add content to the HTML page. When added to a DOM Document of type html-multipage, the API generates an HTML file, which corresponds to a single page of the multipage HTML report.

htmlPageObj = mlreportgen.dom.HTMLPage(fileName) also specifies the fileName.

htmlPageObj = mlreportgen.dom.HTMLPage(fileName,templatePath) also specifies the custom template templatePath.

htmlPageObj = mlreportgen.dom.HTMLPage(fileName,domObj) also specifies domObj as the page content.

Properties

FileName — Name of generated HTML file

'' (default) | character vector | string scalar

Name of the generated HTML file, specified as a character vector or a string scalar. If you do not specify this property, the function takes the filename of the DOM Document object and appends the page number of the HTML page. For example, if the multipage HTML Document name is myreport, the second page of the report is myreport_2.html. The first page in the report always has the name root.html.

If the file name does not specify an extension, .html is used as the extension for the generated HTML file. If the file name specifies an extension, it must be .html. If any extension other than .html is specified, an error is thrown.

Example: "myreport.html"

d = Document("myreport","html-multipage");
open(d);

Create the first HTML page with an image.

page1 = HTMLPage;
append(page1,Heading1("Chapter 1. Image"));
img = Image(which("ngc6543a.jpg"));
img.Height = "4in";
img.Width = "4in";
append(page1,img);
append(d,page1);

Create the second HTML page with a table.

page2 = HTMLPage;
append(page2,Heading1("Chapter 2. Table"));
tbl = Table(magic(5));
tbl.Border = "solid";
tbl.RowSep = "solid";
tbl.ColSep = "solid";
tbl.Width = "100%";
append(page2,tbl);
append(d,page2);
