HTML::O...laration(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this page is the HTML::O...laration(3) manual from User Contributed Perl Documentation, bestie — manual name folded in near the top like a little name tag 🫶. The module is HTML::Object::Declaration, and its official one-liner is literally HTML Object. slay.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, here's how you summon it:

use HTML::Object::Declaration;
my $this = HTML::Object::Declaration->new || die( HTML::Object::Declaration->error, "\n" );

obsessed with how short that is ✨

🎀 VERSION 🎀

🌈 INHERITANCE 🌈

vibe check on the properties, bestie:

🌟 name

Read-only. A DOMString, eg "html" for <!DOCTYPE HTML>.

🔥 METHODS 🔥

💫 after

This method is listed here for standard compliance, but actually does nothing. fr fr, it's just sitting there looking pretty. Normally, in JavaScript, it would insert a set of Node or DOMString objects in the children list of the DocumentType's parent, just after the DocumentType object.

💫 as_string

Returns a string representation of this element.

💫 as_xml

Returns a xml representation of this element. This is actually an alias for as_string.

💫 before

This method is listed here for standard compliance, but actually does nothing. same compliance icon energy, zero action, no cap. Normally, in JavaScript, it would insert a set of Node or DOMString objects in the children list of the DocumentType's parent, just before the DocumentType object.

💫 checksum

Returns an empty string.

💫 set_checksum

Returns nothing. not me expecting more — it's literally nothing.
