FME Transformers: 2024.1
HTMLToXHTMLConverter
Converts HTML document into valid XHTML document.
There are different ways to specify how the HTML input source will be converted:
- enter the HTML text in the HTML Text field,
- specify the attribute that contains the HTML text in the Attribute with HTML Text parameter,
- specify the attribute that contains the path to HTML File, or
- pick the HTML file in the HTML Filename parameter.
Note HTML 5 tags are not yet supported.
Configuration
Parameters
HTML Input
HTML Input |
The choice in the HTML Input parameter enables its corresponding parameter:
|
Input Encoding |
This parameter defines the encoding/character set used in the HTML input file/text. |
XHTML Output
XHTML Output |
The choice that you make in this field enables its corresponding parameter:
|
Output Attribute |
This attribute name will hold the XHTML Output. |
XHTML Filename |
This parameter defines the path and filename of the output XHTML file. |
Output Encoding |
This parameter defines the encoding/character set used in the HTML output. |
Error Handling
Error and Warning List Name |
Features with at least one error will be output through the Failed port with a new list attribute specified in Error and Warning List Name added to the features. If the default _html_error is the list name, the elements of the list attribute contain the following:
Note List attributes are not accessible from the output schema in FME Workbench unless they are first processed using a transformer that operates on them, such as ListExploder or ListConcatenator. Alternatively, AttributeExposer can be used.

||||||||||||
Ignore Warnings |
If set to Yes, errors are only reported in the list name during the conversion process. |
Editing Transformer Parameters
Transformer parameters can be set by directly entering values, using expressions, or referencing other elements in the workspace such as attribute values or user parameters. Various editors and context menus are available to assist. To see what is available, click beside the applicable parameter.
How to Set Parameter Values
Defining Values
There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters.
Using the Text Editor
The Text Editor provides a convenient way to construct text strings (including regular expressions) from various data sources, such as attributes, parameters, and constants, where the result is used directly inside a parameter.
Using the Arithmetic Editor
The Arithmetic Editor provides a convenient way to construct math expressions from various data sources, such as attributes, parameters, and feature functions, where the result is used directly inside a parameter.
Conditional Values
Set values depending on one or more test conditions that either pass or fail.
Parameter Condition Definition Dialog
Content
Expressions and strings can include a number of functions, characters, parameters, and more.
When setting values - whether entered directly in a parameter or constructed using one of the editors - strings and expressions containing String, Math, Date/Time or FME Feature Functions will have those functions evaluated. Therefore, the names of these functions (in the form @<function_name>) should not be used as literal string values.
Content Types
These functions manipulate and format strings. | |
Special Characters |
A set of control characters is available in the Text Editor. |
Math functions are available in both editors. | |
Date/Time Functions | Date and time functions are available in the Text Editor. |
These operators are available in the Arithmetic Editor. | |
These return primarily feature-specific values. | |
FME and workspace-specific parameters may be used. | |
Creating and Modifying User Parameters | Create your own editable parameters. |
Dialog Options - Tables
Table Tools
Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.
Row Reordering
|
Enabled once you have clicked on a row item. Choices include:
|
Cut, Copy, and Paste
|
Enabled once you have clicked on a row item. Choices include:
Cut, copy, and paste may be used within a transformer, or between transformers. |
Filter
|
Start typing a string, and the matrix will only display rows matching those characters. Searches all columns. This only affects the display of attributes within the transformer - it does not alter which attributes are output. |
Import
|
Import populates the table with a set of new attributes read from a dataset. Specific application varies between transformers. |
Reset/Refresh
|
Generally resets the table to its initial state, and may provide additional options to remove invalid entries. Behavior varies between transformers. |
Note: Not all tools are available in all transformers.
