10.5 Conversion in String Context ¶

Conversion and formatting functions should check if in string context to avoid using HTML elements in formatting when in string context. See Init File Expansion Contexts: Normal, Preformatted, Code, String, Math.

To determine if in string context, the functions is in_string:

Function: $in_string = $converter->in_string () ¶

Return true if in string context.

Example of use:

if ($converter->in_string()) {
  return "$mail_string ($text)";
} else {
  return $converter->html_attribute_class('a', [$cmdname])
                      ." href=\"mailto:$mail_string\">$text</a>";
}
