Methods summary

`public`	# `__clone( )` Creates deep clones of properties and resets the ID attribute. Creates deep clones of properties and resets the ID attribute. Since 3.0
`protected`	# `__construct( Core\View\Driver\htmlbuilder $proxy, string $type, string $subType, array $classNames, string $id, array $extraArguments = null )` Node constructor. Node constructor. Parameters `$proxy` HTML Builder proxy instance that created this node. `$type` HTML tag name of element. `$subType` Specification of HTML tag, i.e. the type of an input. `$classNames` Array of class names to assign to the node. `$id` Unique ID of node. `$extraArguments` Array of additional arguments passed on from the factory method. Since 3.0
`public string`	# `__toString( )` Renders the HTML code for the node. Renders the HTML code for the node. Returns string Generated HTML code for the node. Since 3.0 Overrides `Core\Object::__toString`
`protected static array`	# `_parseClasses( string $classes )` Parses a list of class names. Parses a list of class names. Parameters `$classes` Whitespace or comma-separated list of class names. Returns array Array of extracted class names. Since 3.0
`public`	# `addClass( string $class )` Adds a CSS class. Adds a CSS class. Parameters `$class` CSS class name to assign to the node. Returns $this Since 3.0
`public Core\View\Driver\htmlbuilder\Node`	# `append( Core\View\Driver\htmlbuilder\Node\|string $element )` Appends a new node to the list of child nodes. Appends a new node to the list of child nodes. Parameters `$element` Node instance to add. If a string is given, a new instance is created by delegating the call to the proxy view by calling the htmlbuilder::deriven() method. Returns `Core\View\Driver\htmlbuilder\Node` The node that was added to the list of children. Since 3.0
`public`	# `cdata( string $string )` Adds a new `CDATA` node to the list of child nodes. Adds a new `CDATA` node to the list of child nodes. Parameters `$string` Text to add wrapped in a `CDATA` node. Returns $this Since 3.0
`public static static`	# `derive( Core\View\Driver\htmlbuilder $proxy, string $description )` Element factory. Node Element factory. Node Parameters `$proxy` CoreUI proxy instance that creates the new element. `$description` Description string for the new node. Contains the tag name plus an optional sub-type separated by a plus sign and followed by a whitespace or comma-separated list of class names, then the unique ID of the node, and finally an arbitrary number of attributes separated by a slash in the form "key=value". Example: `Node::derive($proxy, 'input+text/left highlight/username/minlength=2/maxlength=10');` In the example an input text box of type "text" is created with the CSS classes "left" and "highlight" and the attributes "minlength" set to 2 and "maxlength" set to 10. The ID of the input is set to "username". Additionally, depending on the node being created, further arguments are passed verbatim to the node constructor. Returns static Since 3.0
`public`	# `extend( Core\View\Driver\htmlbuilder\Node\|string $element )` Appends a new child node but returns an instance to this node instead.

`public string`	# `id( )` Returns the unique ID for the node. If no ID has been assigned when the node was created, an ID is automatically assigned to the node. Such an ID is generated. IDs are reset if a node is cloned. Returns the unique ID for the node. If no ID has been assigned when the node was created, an ID is automatically assigned to the node. Such an ID is generated. IDs are reset if a node is cloned. If the ID of an node is required but accessed for the first time after the node was rendered, and no explicit ID has been assigned to the node before, the rendered node does not have an ID set. In that case call this method before rendering the node. Returns string ID of node. If non has been assigned yet, a random v4 UUID URN is assigned. Since 3.0

Adds a new `CDATA` node for JavaScript to the list of child nodes. Properly hides the CDATA markers within JavaScript comments. Parameters `$code` JavaScript code block to add. Returns $this Since 3.0
`public string`	# `safeID( )` Returns the node ID encoded for use with HTML node attributes. The characters »[« and »]« are replaced by minus signs, an auto-index ID is appended by the element's UUID. Returns the node ID encoded for use with HTML node attributes.
