Fields

OptionAddDebuggingAttributes

Adds Debugging attributes to node. Default is false.

public bool OptionAddDebuggingAttributes

Field Value

bool

OptionAutoCloseOnEnd

public bool OptionAutoCloseOnEnd

Field Value

bool

OptionCheckSyntax

Defines if non closed nodes will be checked at the end of parsing. Default is true.

public bool OptionCheckSyntax

Field Value

bool

OptionComputeChecksum

Defines if a checksum must be computed for the document while parsing. Default is false.

public bool OptionComputeChecksum

Field Value

bool

OptionDefaultStreamEncoding

Defines the default stream encoding to use. Default is System.Text.Encoding.Default.

public Encoding OptionDefaultStreamEncoding

Field Value

Encoding

OptionExtractErrorSourceText

Defines if source text must be extracted while parsing errors. If the document has a lot of errors, or cascading errors, parsing performance can be dramatically affected if set to true. Default is false.

public bool OptionExtractErrorSourceText

Field Value

bool

OptionExtractErrorSourceTextMaxLength

Defines the maximum length of source text or parse errors. Default is 100.

public int OptionExtractErrorSourceTextMaxLength

Field Value

int

OptionFixNestedTags

Defines if LI, TR, TH, TD tags must be partially fixed when nesting errors are detected. Default is false.

public bool OptionFixNestedTags

Field Value

bool

OptionOutputAsXml

Defines if output must conform to XML, instead of HTML.

public bool OptionOutputOriginalCase

Field Value

bool

OptionOutputUpperCase

Defines if name must be output in uppercase. Default is false.

public bool OptionOutputUpperCase

Field Value

bool

OptionReadEncoding

Defines if declared encoding must be read from the document. Declared encoding is determined using the meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=XXXXX" html node. Default is true.

Field Value

bool

OptionWriteEmptyNodes

Defines if empty nodes must be written as closed during output. Default is false.

public bool OptionWriteEmptyNodes

Field Value

bool
