◆ CanPrint() [1/2]
| bool Loyc.Syntax.ILiteralPrinter.CanPrint | ( | Symbol | typeMarker | ) |
Finds out whether there is a printer for the given type marker. Never throws.
- Returns
- True if typeMarker is not null and there is a printer for that marker.
Implemented in Loyc.Syntax.LiteralHandlerTable.
◆ CanPrint() [2/2]
| bool Loyc.Syntax.ILiteralPrinter.CanPrint | ( | Type | type | ) |
Returns true if there is a printer registered for the given type. Never throws.
- Returns
- True if type is not null and if there is a printer for that type.
◆ TryPrint()
| Either<Symbol, ILogMessage> Loyc.Syntax.ILiteralPrinter.TryPrint | ( | ILNode | literal, |
| StringBuilder | sb | ||
| ) |
Attempts to convert the specified literal to a string.
- Parameters
-
literal A literal that you want to convert to a string.
- Returns
- Either a recommended type marker for the literal, or an error message. The string form of the literal is appended to the StringBuilder provided by the caller. If an error occurs, it is possible that some kind of output was added to the StringBuilder anyway.
The string is printed without escaping. For example a newline would be printed as character (char)10, not "\n".
Implemented in Loyc.Syntax.LiteralHandlerTable.
