### writeContent

    public void writeContent(java.lang.String s)
                      throws TransformerException

  Produce text content output.
  Special characters are escaped using XML/HTML conventions if the output format requires it.

  Specified by:
    `writeContent` in class `Outputter`
  Parameters:
    `s` - The String to be output
  Throws:
    `TransformerException` - for any failure

### writeContent

    public void writeContent(char[] chars,
                             int start,
                             int length)
                      throws TransformerException

  Produce text content output.
  Special characters are escaped using XML/HTML conventions if the output format requires it.

  Specified by:
    `writeContent` in class `Outputter`
  Parameters:
    `chars` - Character array to be output
    `start` - start position of characters to be output
    `length` - number of characters to be output
  Throws:
    `TransformerException` - for any failure

### writeContent

    public void writeContent(java.lang.StringBuffer chars,
                             int start,
                             int len)
                      throws TransformerException

  Produce text content output.
  Special characters are escaped using XML/HTML conventions if the output format requires it.

  Parameters:
    `chars` - StringBuffer containing to be output
    `start` - start position of characters to be output
    `len` - number of characters to be output
  Throws:
    `TransformerException` - for any failure

### writeStartTag

    public void writeStartTag(int nameCode)
                       throws TransformerException

  Output an element start tag.
  The actual output of the tag is deferred until all attributes have been output using writeAttribute().

  Specified by:
    `writeStartTag` in class `Outputter`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - The element name code
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### checkAttributePrefix

    public int checkAttributePrefix(int nameCode)
                             throws TransformerException

  Check that the prefix for an attribute is acceptable, returning a substitute prefix if not. The prefix is acceptable unless a namespace declaration has been written that assignes this prefix to a different namespace URI. This method also checks that the attribute namespace has been declared, and declares it if not.

  Specified by:
    `checkAttributePrefix` in class `Outputter`
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### writeNamespaceDeclaration

    public void writeNamespaceDeclaration(int nscode)
                                   throws TransformerException

  Output a namespace declaration.
  This is added to a list of pending namespaces for the current start tag. If there is already another declaration of the same prefix, this one is ignored. Note that unlike SAX2 startPrefixMapping(), this call is made AFTER writing the start tag.

  Specified by:
    `writeNamespaceDeclaration` in class `Outputter`
  Parameters:
    `nscode` - The namespace code
  Throws:
    `TransformerException` - if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.

### copyNamespaceNode

    public void copyNamespaceNode(int nscode)
                           throws TransformerException

  Copy a namespace node to the current element node (Rules defined in XSLT 1.0 errata)

  Specified by:
    `copyNamespaceNode` in class `Outputter`
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### thereIsAnOpenStartTag

    public boolean thereIsAnOpenStartTag()

  Test whether there is an open start tag. This determines whether it is possible to write an attribute node at this point.

  Specified by:
    `thereIsAnOpenStartTag` in class `Outputter`

### writeAttribute

    public void writeAttribute(int nameCode,
                               java.lang.String value)
                        throws TransformerException

  Output an attribute value.
  This is added to a list of pending attributes for the current start tag, overwriting any previous attribute with the same name.
  This method should NOT be used to output namespace declarations.

  Overrides:
    `writeAttribute` in class `Outputter`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - The name code of the attribute
    `value` - The value of the attribute
  Throws:
    `TransformerException` - if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.

### writeAttribute

    public void writeAttribute(int nameCode,
                               java.lang.String value,
                               boolean noEscape)
                        throws TransformerException

  Output an attribute value.
  This is added to a list of pending attributes for the current start tag, overwriting any previous attribute with the same name.
  This method should NOT be used to output namespace declarations.
  Before calling this, checkAttributePrefix() should be called to ensure the namespace is OK.

  Specified by:
    `writeAttribute` in class `Outputter`
  Parameters:
    `value` - The value of the attribute
    `noEscape` - True if it's known there are no special characters in the value. If unsure, set this to false.
  Throws:
    `TransformerException` - if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.

### writeEndTag

    public void writeEndTag(int nameCode)
                     throws TransformerException

  Output an element end tag.

  Specified by:
    `writeEndTag` in class `Outputter`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - The element name code
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

    public void writeComment(java.lang.String comment)
                      throws TransformerException

  Write a comment

  Specified by:
    `writeComment` in class `Outputter`

  Specified by:
    `close` in class `Outputter`
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`
