Inputs

Script	Designer	Required	AcceptedTypes	Description
--html	HTML	Required	Text	Text in HTML format to be mapped.
--outputtype	Output Type	Required	OutputHtmlType	Filter to fetch and return the properties of HTML elements and/or their value: Value: Returns only the value of each mapped element; InnerHtml: Returns only the inner content of the mapped element; OuterHtml: Returns both the mapped element and its inner content.
--removenamespaces	Remove Namespaces	Optional	Boolean	When enabled, removes the namespace contained in the HTML text, so that XPATH mapping runs more simply.

Example

The Map HTML command gets text from an HTML from the mapped HTML element, with the Remove Namespaces parameter disabled and Output Type set to InnerHtml. The Log Message command records the content obtained.

defVar --name html --type String --value "<!DOCTYPE html>\r\n<html>\r\n    <head>\r\n        <title>HTML Example</title>\r\n    </head>\r\n    <body>\r\nHello World!\r\n    </body>\r\n</html>"
defVar --name htmlText --type String
mapHTML --html "${html}" --outputtype "InnerHtml" --removenamespaces  --mappings "html==${htmlText}"
logMessage --message "html: ${html}\r\n\r\n" --type "Info"
// Show in the console the HTML text according to the mapping.
