GenericElement

The names of the product elements.

The name of the type.

As fromNode, but for callers that know (as scala.xml.XML.loadString callers always do, since it returns Elem specifically, not the more general Node) that the result must be a GenericElement, avoiding a cast at every call site.

Method to convert a scala.xml.Node into a GenericContent, recursively.

NOTE on namespaces: Elem.label is only the local name (e.g. "Story" for "idPkg:Story"), and an xmlns:prefix="uri" declaration is carried in Elem.scope, not in .attributes — so both have to be handled specially to avoid silently losing the "idPkg:" prefix (used throughout IDML's designmap.xml) or the namespace declaration itself. Whichever bindings in e.scope are not already visible in inheritedScope are re-materialized here as ordinary-looking xmlns[:prefix]="uri" attributes, so the output is self-contained.

Method to render a GenericContent back into an XML string.

NOTE: this is not guaranteed to be byte-identical to whatever text originally produced the equivalent GenericContent (e.g. attribute-quoting style and entity-encoding choices are normalized), but it is semantically equivalent and round-trips losslessly through fromNode again (i.e. fromNode(parse(toXmlString(g))) == g).

An Extractor[GenericElement], for use as an ordinary field type within an otherwise-specialist extractorN, wherever a specific, named field is deliberately left generic. Fails if the node isn't an element (e.g. it's a bare text node).

An Extractor[Option[GenericElement]], for a deliberately generic field that's optional.

A Renderer[GenericElement], the counterpart to extractor, delegating to toXmlString.

A Renderer[Option[GenericElement]], the counterpart to extractorOpt.
