[opencms-dev] cms:parse tag usage

Hi Michael,

Yes, this is how I did it, but not sure what I need to put in my visitor
object.

At the moment I have only overwritten the process method as follows:

public String process(String html, String encoding) throws ParserException {

    	System.out.println("OLLI DEBUG A:"+html);
        
        // return the result
        return html;
    }

But if I do this I see the content in System.out, but the content area in my
rendered web page is empty :(

Regards,

Olli

Well, try the following:

The class that is given in the <cms:parse> tag should extend 
A_CmsConfiguredHtmlParser.

In the required createVisitorInstance method you must create an instance 
of the visitor object that extends the CmsHtmlParser and implements the 
I_CmsHtmlNodeVisitor.

Kind regards,
Michael Emmerich
