  - fireEndElem
```
protected void fireEndElem(String name)
                    throws SAXException
```
    To fire off the end element trace event
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - Name of element
    
    Throws:
    
    SAXException
  - fireCharEvent
```
protected void fireCharEvent(char[] chars,
                             int start,
                             int length)
                      throws SAXException
```
    Report the characters trace event
    
    Parameters:
    
    chars - content of characters
    
    start - starting index of characters to output
    
    length - number of characters to output
    
    Throws:
    
    SAXException
  - comment
```
public void comment(String data)
             throws SAXException
```
    Receive notification of a comment.
    
    Specified by:
    
    comment in interface ExtendedLexicalHandler
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the comment, but unlike the SAX comment() method this method takes a String rather than a character array.
    
    Throws:
    
    SAXException
    
    See Also:
    
    ExtendedLexicalHandler.comment(String)
  - patchName
```
protected String patchName(String qname)
```
    If at runtime, when the qname of the attribute is known, another prefix is specified for the attribute, then we can patch or hack the name with this method. For a qname of the form "ns?:otherprefix:name", this function patches the qname by simply ignoring "otherprefix". TODO: This method is a HACK! We do not have access to the XML file, it sometimes generates a NS prefix of the form "ns?" for an attribute.
  - getLocalName
```
protected static String getLocalName(String qname)
```
    Returns the local name of a qualified name. If the name has no prefix, then it works as the identity (SAX2).
    
    Parameters:
    
    qname - the qualified name
    
    Returns:
    
    the name, but excluding any prefix and colon.
  - setDocumentLocator
```
public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator)
```
    Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDocumentLocator in interface ContentHandler
    
    Parameters:
    
    locator - An object that can return the location of any SAX document event. Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.
    SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler interface.
    
    The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.
    
    Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.
  - addAttribute
```
public void addAttribute(String uri,
                         String localName,
                         String rawName,
                         String type,
                         String value,
                         boolean XSLAttribute)
                  throws SAXException
```
    Adds the given attribute to the set of collected attributes , but only if there is a currently open element. An element is currently open if a startElement() notification has occured but the start of the element has not yet been written to the output. In the stream case this means that we have not yet been forced to close the elements opening tag by another notification, such as a character notification.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addAttribute in interface ExtendedContentHandler
    
    Parameters:
    
    uri - the URI of the attribute
    
    localName - the local name of the attribute
    
    rawName - the qualified name of the attribute
    
    type - the type of the attribute (probably CDATA)
    
    value - the value of the attribute
    
    XSLAttribute - true if this attribute is coming from an xsl:attriute element
    
    Throws:
    
    SAXException
    
    See Also:
    
    ExtendedContentHandler.addAttribute(String, String, String, String, String)
  - addAttributeAlways
```
public boolean addAttributeAlways(String uri,
                                  String localName,
                                  String rawName,
                                  String type,
                                  String value,
                                  boolean XSLAttribute)
```
    Adds the given attribute to the set of attributes, even if there is no currently open element. This is useful if a SAX startPrefixMapping() should need to add an attribute before the element name is seen.
    
    Parameters:
    
    uri - the URI of the attribute
    
    localName - the local name of the attribute
    
    rawName - the qualified name of the attribute
    
    type - the type of the attribute (probably CDATA)
    
    value - the value of the attribute
    
    XSLAttribute - true if this attribute is coming from an xsl:attribute element
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the attribute was added, false if an existing value was replaced.

    This method handles what needs to be done at a startDocument() call, whether from an external caller, or internally called in the serializer. For historical reasons the serializer is flexible to startDocument() not always being called. Even if no external call is made into startDocument() this method will always be called as a self generated internal startDocument, it handles what needs to be done at a startDocument() call. This method exists just to make sure that startDocument() is only ever called from an external caller, which in principle is just a matter of style.

    SAXException

    name - The name of the property.
    
    Returns:
    
    The default value of the parameter, or null if there is no default value.
  - setOutputProperty
```
public void setOutputProperty(String name,
                              String val)
```
    Set the value for the output property, typically from an xsl:output element, but this does not change what the default value is.
    Parameters:
    name - The name of the property, which is just the local name if it is in no namespace, but is the URI in curly braces followed by the local name if it is in a namespace, for example:
    
    "encoding"
    "method"
    "{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}indent-amount"
    "{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}line-separator"
  - setOutputPropertyDefault
```
public void setOutputPropertyDefault(String name,
                                     String val)
```
    Set the default value for an output property, but this does not impact any explicitly set value.
    Parameters:
    name - The name of the property, which is just the local name if it is in no namespace, but is the URI in curly braces followed by the local name if it is in a namespace, for example:
    
    "encoding"
    "method"
    "{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}indent-amount"
    "{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}line-separator"
  - setCdataSectionElements
```
public void setCdataSectionElements(Vector URI_and_localNames)
```
    Sets the value coming from the xsl:output cdata-section-elements stylesheet property. This sets the elements whose text elements are to be output as CDATA sections.
    
    Parameters:
    
    URI_and_localNames - pairs of namespace URI and local names that identify elements whose text elements are to be output as CDATA sections. The namespace of the local element must be the given URI to match. The qName is not given because the prefix does not matter, only the namespace URI to which that prefix would map matters, so the prefix itself is not relevant in specifying which elements have their text to be output as CDATA sections.
