NAME
XML::DOM::ProcessingInstruction - An XML processing instruction in XML::DOM
DESCRIPTION
XML::DOM::ProcessingInstruction extends XML::DOM::Node.
It represents a ``processing instruction'', used in XML as a way to keep
processor-specific information in the text of the document. An example:
<?PI processing instruction?>
Here, ``PI'' is the target and ``processing instruction'' is the data.
METHODS
- getTarget
-
The target of this processing instruction. XML defines this
as being the first token following the markup that begins the
processing instruction.
- getData and setData (data)
-
The content of this processing instruction. This is from the
first non white space character after the target to the
character immediately preceding the ?>.
