This function returns an object that is of a type that is dependent on the document type. The default document type is html. Currently this is the only type that has been implemented.

This method must be invoked as:

  $document = &JDocument::getInstance();

jdocument &getInstance ( $type, $attributes )

This function is called from the JApplication::getDocument function and should not need to be called otherwise. This function is called in the following way:

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

This results in an object of type JDocumentHTML being assigned to the $instance variable.
