Detailed Description

A widget that renders (XHTML) text.

The text is provided through a WString, which may either hold a literal text, or a key to localized text which is looked up in locale dependent XML files (see WString::tr()).

Use setTextFormat() to configure the textFormat of the text. The default textFormat is Wt::TextFormat::XHTML, which allows XHMTL markup to be included in the text. Tags and attributes that indicate "active" content are not allowed and stripped out, to avoid security risks exposed by JavaScript such as the common web-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) malicious attack. XSS is the situation where one user of your web application is able to execute a script in another user's browser while your application only intended to display a message entered by the mailicious user to the other user. To defeat this attack, Wt assumes that content in a WText is intended to be passive, and not contain any scripting elements.

The Wt::TextFormat::XHTML format will automatically change to Wt::TextFormat::Plain if the text is not valid XML. Properly formatted HTML, which is not valid XHTML (e.g. a <br> tag without closing tag) will thus be shown literally, since the HTML markup will be escaped. Wt does this as a safety measure, since it cannot reliably run the XSS filter without parsing the XML successfully.

The Wt::TextFormat::Plain format will display the text literally (escaping any HTML special characters).

In some situations, Wt::TextFormat::UnsafeXHTML may be useful to explicitly allow scripting content. Like TextFormat::XHTML, it allows XHTML markup, but it also allows potentially dangerous tags and attributes. Use this if you're sure that a user cannot interfere with the text set, and TextFormat::XHTML is too limiting.

WText is by default inline, unless the XHTML contents starts with an element such as <div>, <h> or <p> that is displayed as a block, in which case the widget will also display as a block.

Usage examples:

auto container = std::make_unique<Wt::WContainerWidget>();
 
// display an XHTML text:
container->addWidget(
  std::make_unique<Wt::WText>("Hello <i>dear</i> visitor."));
 
// display a plain text:
container->addWidget(
  std::make_unique<Wt::WText>("The <i> tag displays italic text.", Wt::TextFormat::Plain));
 
// display an XHTML fragment from a resource bundle:
container->addWidget(
  std::make_unique<Wt::WText>(tr("introduction")));

CSS

The widget corresponds to an HTML <span> tag or an HTML <div> depending on whether the widget is inline.

This widget does not provide styling, and can be styled using inline or external CSS as appropriate.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

WText() [1/2]

Wt::WText::WText

(

const WString &

text

)

Creates a text widget with given text.

The textFormat is set to Wt::TextFormat::XHTML, unless the text is literal (not created using WString::tr()) and it could not be parsed as valid XML. In that case the textFormat is set to Wt::TextFormat::Plain.

Therefore, if you wish to use Wt::TextFormat::XHTML, but cannot be sure about text being valid XML, you should verify that the textFormat() is Wt::TextFormat::XHTML after construction.

The XML parser will silently discard malicious tags and attributes for literal Wt::TextFormat::XHTML text.

WText() [2/2]

Wt::WText::WText	(	const WString &	text,
		TextFormat	textFormat
	)

Creates a text widget with given text and format.

If textFormat is Wt::TextFormat::XHTML and text is not literal (not created using WString::tr()), then if the text could not be parsed as valid XML, the textFormat is changed to Wt::TextFormat::Plain.

Therefore, if you wish to use Wt::TextFormat::XHTML, but cannot be sure about text being valid XML, you should verify that the textFormat() is Wt::TextFormat::XHTML after construction.

The XML parser will silently discard malicious tags and attributes for literal Wt::TextFormat::XHTML text.

Member Function Documentation

hasInternalPathEncoding()

bool Wt::WText::hasInternalPathEncoding

(

)

const

Returns whether internal paths are encoded.

See also

setInternalPathEncoding()

padding()

WLength Wt::WText::padding

(

Side

side

)

const

Returns the padding set for the widget.

See also

setPadding(const WLength&, WFlags<Side>)

refresh()

void Wt::WText::refresh ( )

overridevirtual

Refresh the widget.

The refresh method is invoked when the locale is changed using WApplication::setLocale() or when the user hit the refresh button.

The widget must actualize its contents in response.

Note

This does not rerender the widget! Calling refresh() usually does not have any effect (unless you've reimplemented refresh() to attach to it an effect).

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

render()

void Wt::WText::render ( WFlags< RenderFlag >  flags )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Renders the widget.

This function renders the widget (or an update for the widget), after this has been scheduled using scheduleRender().

The default implementation will render the widget by serializing changes to JavaScript and HTML. You may want to reimplement this widget if you have been postponing some of the layout / rendering implementation until the latest moment possible. In that case you should make sure you call the base implementation however.

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

setInternalPathEncoding()

void Wt::WText::setInternalPathEncoding

(

bool

enabled

)

Enables internal path encoding of anchors in the XHTML text.

Anchors to internal paths are represented differently depending on the session implementation (plain HTML, Ajax or HTML5 history). By enabling this option, anchors which reference an internal path (by referring a URL of the form href="#/..."), are re-encoded to link to the internal path.

When using Wt::TextFormat::XHTML (or Wt::TextFormat::UnsafeXHTML) formatted text, the text is pasted verbatim in the browser (with the exception of XSS filtering if applicable). With this option, however, the XHTML text may be transformed at the cost of an additional XML parsing step.

The default value is false.

See also

WAnchor::setInternalPath()

setPadding()

void Wt::WText::setPadding	(	const WLength &	padding,
		WFlags< Side >	sides = Side::Left | Side::Right
	)

Sets padding inside the widget.

Setting padding has the effect of adding distance between the widget children and the border.

Note

for an inline WText padding is only supported on the left and/or right. Setting padding on the top or bottom has no effect.

setText()

bool Wt::WText::setText

(

const WString &

text

)

Sets the text.

When the current format is Wt::TextFormat::XHTML, and text is literal (not created using WString::tr()), it is parsed using an XML parser which discards malicious tags and attributes silently. When the parser encounters an XML parse error, the textFormat is changed to Wt::TextFormat::Plain. If text is not a literal, the same parser is applied only when the text is resolved.

Returns whether the text could be set using the current textFormat. A return value of false indicates that the textFormat was changed in order to be able to accept the new text.

See also

text(), setText()

setTextAlignment()

void Wt::WText::setTextAlignment

(

AlignmentFlag

textAlignment

)

Specifies how text is aligned.

Only the horizontal alignment can be specified. Note that there is no way to specify vertical alignment. You can put the text in a layout with vertical alignment options though, or (misuse) the line-height CSS property for single line texts.

setTextFormat()

bool Wt::WText::setTextFormat

(

TextFormat

format

)

Sets the text format.

The textFormat controls how the string should be interpreted: either as plain text, which is displayed literally, or as XHTML-markup.

When changing the textFormat to Wt::TextFormat::XHTML, and the current text is literal (not created using WString::tr()), the current text is parsed using an XML parser which discards malicious tags and attributes silently. When the parser encounters an XML parse error, the textFormat is left unchanged, and this method returns false.

Returns whether the textFormat could be set for the current text.

The default format is Wt::TextFormat::XHTML.

setWordWrap()

void Wt::WText::setWordWrap

(

bool

wordWrap

)

Configures word wrapping.

When wordWrap is true, the widget may break lines, creating a multi-line text. When wordWrap is false, the text will displayed on a single line, unless the text contains end-of-lines (for Wt::TextFormat::Plain) or <br /> tags or other block-level tags (for Wt::TextFormat::XHTML).

The default value is true.

See also

wordWrap()

text()

const WString& Wt::WText::text

(

)

const

Returns the text.

When a literal XHTMLFormatted text was set, this may differ from the text that was set since malicious tags/attributes may have been stripped.

See also

setText(const WString&)

textAlignment()

AlignmentFlag Wt::WText::textAlignment

(
