Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

ToString(xmlTree, format=output_format)

Parameters

xmlTree

-

Maple XML tree; worksheet

format=output_format

-

(optional) equation; output_format can be one of "mws", "maple8_xml", or "mw" (default)

Description

• 

The ToString(xmlTree) calling sequence formats the XML document xmlTree representing a Maple worksheet as a MWS document (stored as a Maple string).

  

It is assumed that the XML document that is written to a string represents a valid worksheet. (Maple performs only a surface check.)

  

The returned XML document is formatted without line breaking or indentation of any kind. As a result, regardless of size, the document is returned as a single line of text.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how a Maple XML tree data structure can be converted and returned as a string.

The ToString command converts the XML tree data structure doc and returns it as a Maple string str.

(1)

The string str is parsed and converted back to an XML tree data structure doc1 by using the FromString command.

The Display command launches the worksheets. The Display command launches the string str and the XML tree doc1. For information on Display command parameters, see Worksheet[Display].
