Base class for all output converters.
The Converter marks the final stage in phpDocumentor. phpDocumentor works in this order:
Parsing => Intermediate Parsing organization => Conversion to output
A Converter takes output from the phpDocumentor_IntermediateParser and converts it to output. With version 1.2, phpDocumentor includes a variety of output converters:

All packages encountered in parsing
set to a classname if currently parsing a class, false if not
alphabetical index of all methods and vars in a class by package/subpackage
The class itself has a link under ###main
template for the class currently being processed
alphabetized index of classes by package
full path of the current file being converted
current procedural page being processed
alphabetized index of defines by package
alphabetical index of all elements
alphabetized index of functions by package
alphabetized index of global variables by package
Flag used to help converters determine whether to do special source highlighting
Controls which of the one-element-only indexes are generated.
Generation of these indexes for large packages is time-consuming. This is an optimization feature. An example of how to use this is in HTMLframesConverter::$leftindex, and in HTMLframesConverter::formatLeftIndex(). These indexes are intended for use as navigational aids through documentation, but can be used for anything by converters.
output format of this converter
in Child converters, this will match the first part of the -o command-line as in -o HTML:frames:default "HTML"
package name currently being converted
Packages associated with categories
Used by the XML:DocBook/peardoc2 converter, and available to others, to group many packages into categories
alphabetical index of all elements sorted by package, subpackage, page, and class.
set to value of -po commandline
Hierarchy of packages
Every package that contains classes may have parent or child classes in other packages. In other words, this code is legal:
In this case, package one is a parent of package two
name of current page being converted
alphabetical index of all elements on a page by package/subpackage
The page itself has a link under ###main
template for the procedural page currently being processed
alphabetized index of procedural pages by package
controls processing of elements marked private with @access private
defaults to false. Set with command-line --parseprivate or -pp
path of current page being converted
alphabetical index of all elements, indexed by package/subpackage
This converter knows about the new root tree processing
In order to fix PEAR Bug #6389
controls display of progress information while parsing.
defaults to false. Set to true for cron jobs or other situations where no visual output is necessary
Directory that the smarty templates are in
This is used if the content must be passed in the order it should be read, i.e. by package, procedural then classes
This fixes bug 637921, and is used by PDFdefaultConverter
This determines whether the $page_contents array should be sorted by element type as well as alphabetically by name
A list of files that have had source code generated
subpackage name currently being converted
directory that output is sent to. -t command-line sets this.
Directory that the template is in, relative to phpDocumentor root directory

Convert all elements to output format
This will call ConvertXxx where Xxx is http://www.php.net/ucfirst($element->type). It is expected that a child converter defines a handler for every element type, even if that handler does nothing. phpDocumentor will terminate with an error if a handler doesn't exist.

unique ID in the format needed for the Converter
Parse an include's file to see if it is a file documented in this project
Although not very smart yet, this method will try to look for the included file file.ext:
If it finds it, it will return a link to the file's documentation. As of 1.2.0rc1, phpDocumentor is smarty enough to find these cases:
The meat of the @see tag and inline {@link} tag
$expr is a string with many allowable formats:
New in version 1.1, you can explicitly specify a package to link to that is different from the current package. Use the # operator to specify a new package, as in tests#bug-540368.php (which should appear as a link like: "bug-540368.php"). This example links to the procedural page bug-540368.php in package tests. Also, the "function" operator is now used to specifically link to a function instead of a method in the current class.
If classname:: is not present, and the see tag is in a documentation block within a class, then the function uses the classname to search for $expr as a function or variable within classname, or any of its parent classes. given an $expr without '$', '::' or '()' getLink first searches for classes, procedural pages, constants, global variables, and then searches for methods and variables within the default class, and finally for any function
return false or a methodLink to $expr in $class
return false or a pageLink to $expr
Return a tree of all classes that extend this class
The data structure returned is designed for a non-recursive algorithm, and is somewhat complex. In most cases, the array returned is:
array('#root' => array('link' => classLink to $class, 'parent' => false, 'children' => array(array('class' => 'childclass1', 'package' => 'child1package'), array('class' => 'childclass2', 'package' => 'child2package'),... ) ), 'child1package#childclass1' => array('link' => classLink to childclass1, 'parent' => '#root', 'children' => array(array('class' => 'kidclass', 'package' => 'kidpackage'),... ) ), 'kidpackage#kidclass' => array('link' => classLink to kidclass, 'parent' => 'child1package#childclass1', 'children' => array() // no children ), .... )
To describe this format using language, every class in the tree has an entry in the first level of the array. The index for all child classes that extend the root class is childpackage#childclassname. Each entry in the array has 3 elements: link, parent, and children.
special cases are when the #root class has a parent in another package, or when the #root class extends a class not found by phpDocumentor. In the first case, parent will be a classLink to the parent class. In the second, parent will be the extends clause, as in:
The fastest way to design a method to process the array returned is to copy HTMLframesConverter::getRootTree() into your converter and to modify the html to whatever output format you are going to use
Return parserStringWithInlineTags::Convert() cache state
Return a converter-specific id to distinguish tutorials and their sections
Used by {@id}
The meat of the @tutorial tag and inline {@tutorial} tag
Take a string and return an abstract link to the tutorial it represents. Since tutorial naming literally works like the underlying filesystem, the way to reference the tutorial is similar. Tutorials are located in a subdirectory of any directory parsed, which is named 'tutorials/' (we try to make things simple when we can :). They are further organized by package and subpackage as:
tutorials/package/subpackage
and the files are named *.cls, *.pkg, or *.proc, and so a link to a tutorial named file.cls can be referenced (depending on context) as any of:
The first case will only be needed if file.cls exists in both the current package, in anotherpackage/file.cls and in anotherpackage/subpackage/file.cls and you wish to reference the one in anotherpackage/subpackage. The second case is only needed if you wish to reference file.cls in another package and it is unique in that package. the third will link to the first file.cls it finds using this search method:
Get a tree structure representing the hierarchy of tutorials
Returns an array in format:
array('tutorial' => parserTutorial, 'kids' => array( // child tutorials array('tutorial' => child parserTutorial, 'kids' => array(...) ) ) )
return false or a varLink to $expr in $class

The walk() method should be flexible enough such that it never needs modification. walk() sets up all of the indexes, and sorts everything in logical alphabetical order. It then passes each element individually to Convert(), which then passes to the Convert*() methods. A child Converter need not override any of these unless special functionality must be added. see Converter Default Template Variables for details. {@ and the left indexes specified by $leftindexes, and then sorts them by calling sortIndexes().
Next, it converts all README/CHANGELOG/INSTALL-style files, using Convert_RIC.
After this, it passes all package-level docs to Convert(). Then, it calls the index sorting functions formatPkgIndex(), formatIndex() and formatLeftIndex().
Finally, it converts each procedural page in alphabetical order. This stage passes elements from the physical file to Convert() in alphabetical order. First, procedural page elements parserDefine, parserInclude parserGlobal, and parserFunction are passed to Convert().
Then, class elements are passed in this order: parserClass, then all of the parserVars in the class and all of the parserMethods in the class. Classes are in alphabetical order, and both vars and methods are in alphabetical order.
Finally, ConvertErrorLog() is called and the data walk is complete.}}
