DynamicTarget-class: Class "DynamicTarget" and other output format classes

In duncantl/XDynDocs: Dynamic Documents with XML and XSL

Class "DynamicTarget" and other output format classes

Description

When processing a dynamic document into a target format such as HTML, FO/PDF, LaTeX, or even Docbook itself, we use an instance of one of the derived/sub DynamicTarget classes. We create an instance of the appropriate class and use this as an argument to the convert function in order to facilitate the dispatch to S4 methods based on the type of the R object being converted and the target format. So this is used primarily as a means of method dispatch. However, target objects can also provide information about the target document being created such as its identity/filename and so on.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("DynamicTarget", ...). The instances are typically created internally in the package in the function DynamicOptions as part of xslDynamicDoc.

Slots
