Multiple Calls of prettyPrint() Ineffective #204

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I had a process that Ajax'd in some external code, inserted it into a target 
pre tag and the called prettyPrint(). This added additional markup and styles 
with each invocation.

Studying the code, there is no way to target a single node.

I fixed this by adding a target parameter, if it existed, instead of the 
getElementsByTagName on code, pre and xmp, I did a getElementById on the target.

Now I can call prettyPrint('target') without scanning all the other tags and 
adding unnecessary content to the DOM.

I also dropped xmp because it is deprecated.

....

function prettyPrint(target, opt_whenDone) {
  function byTagName(tn) { return document.getElementsByTagName(tn); }
  // fetch a list of nodes to rewrite
  var codeSegments = [byTagName('pre'), byTagName('code')];
  var elements = [];
  if (target){ 
    codeSegments = [document.getElementById(target)];
    elements.push(codeSegments[0]);
  } else {
    for (var i = 0; i < codeSegments.length; ++i) {
      for (var j = 0, n = codeSegments[i].length; j < n; ++j) {
        elements.push(codeSegments[i][j]);
      }
    }
  }
  codeSegments = null;

  .....

Thought this might be a useful addition to the library!

http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/source/detail?r=242 incorporates 
your idea.  An optional argument now lets the caller specify the root under 
which to search using getElementsByTagName.  This will be included in the next 
release.
