>xmlValidGetValidElements ()

int         xmlValidGetValidElements        (xmlNode *prev,
                                             xmlNode *next,

This function returns the list of authorized children to insert within an existing tree while respecting the validity constraints forced by the Dtd. The insertion point is defined using prev and next in the following ways: to insert before 'node': xmlValidGetValidElements(node->prev, node, ... to insert next 'node': xmlValidGetValidElements(node, node->next, ... to replace 'node': xmlValidGetValidElements(node->prev, node->next, ... to prepend a child to 'node': xmlValidGetValidElements(NULL, node->childs, to append a child to 'node': xmlValidGetValidElements(node->last, NULL, ...

pointers to the element names are inserted at the beginning of the array and do not need to be freed.

prev : an element to insert after
next : an element to insert next
list : an array to store the list of child names
max : the size of the array
Returns :the number of element in the list, or -1 in case of error. If the function returns the value max the caller is invited to grow the receiving array and retry.


>xmlValidGetPotentialChildren ()

int         xmlValidGetPotentialChildren    (xmlElementContent *ctree,
                                             const xmlChar **list,
                                             int *len,
                                             int max);

Build/extend a list of potential children allowed by the content tree

ctree : an element content tree
list : an array to store the list of child names
len : a pointer to the number of element in the list
max : the size of the array
Returns :the number of element in the list, or -1 in case of error.
