Syntax

Argument	Rules	Description
type	Mandatory	plainTextToXHTML
operand	Mandatory	XML document reference with XPointer fragment identifier to text
target	Mandatory	target resource

The plainTextToXHTML accessor converts plain text to formatted XHTML. The text is supplied in an XML element which is referenced using an XPointer reference.

Whitespace linebreaks are detected and converted to <br/> breaks. Multiple-repeated linebreaks are ignored. URI references (http:, mailto:) within the plain text are parsed and converted to links <a href="ref">ref</a>.

The result is a <div> block fragment containing the XHTML formatted text.
