This is the constructor for the class. It sets up the line end parameter, the character set, the language and the tab delimeter for the document if these parameters are passed. The constructor also sets up the name space and adds the module directories for the Function, OutputFilter and Renderer. The $type parameter is passed to the JTemplate constructor.

JDocument __construct ( $type, $attributes )

The recognized settings for $attributes are:

• lineend - the character used to mark the end of the line. This attribute is set using the setLineEnd function.
• charset - the character set of the document. This attribute is set using the setCharset function.
• language - the language of the document. This attribute is set using the setLang function.
• tab - the tab delimeter of the document. This attribute is set using the setTab function.

This class is instantiated by the JApplication::getDocument function. Therefore, another instantiation should not be necessary. This function executes the following code:

$attributes = array (
    'charset'  => 'utf-8',
    'lineend'  => 'unix',
    'tab'  => '  ',
    'language' => 'en-GB'
);
jimport('joomla.document.document');
$instance =& JDocument::getInstance('html', $attributes);
