.Sh NAME
.Nm xo_set_info
.Nd set the field information data for libxo
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libxo
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libxo/xo.h
.Ft void
.Fn xo_set_info "xo_handle_t *handle" "xo_info_t *info" "int count"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
HTML data can include additional information in attributes that
begin with "data-".
To enable this, three things must occur:
.Pp
First the application must build an array of
.Dv xo_info_t
structures,
one per tag.
The array must be sorted by name, since
.Nm libxo
uses a
binary search to find the entry that matches names from format
instructions.
.Pp
The
.Dv xo_info_t
structure is defined in
.In libxo/xo.h :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
typedef struct xo_info_s {
const char *xi_name; /* Name of the element */
const char *xi_type; /* Type of field */
const char *xi_help; /* Description of field */
} xo_info_t;
.Ed
.Pp
Second, the application must inform
.Nm libxo
about this information using the
.Fn xo_set_info
call.
Like other
.Nm libxo
calls, passing
.Dv NULL
for the handle tells
.Nm libxo
to use the default handle.
.Pp
If the
.Fa count
is -1,
.Nm libxo
will count the elements of
.Fa info ,
but there
must be an empty element at the end.
More typically, the number is
known to the application:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
xo_info_t info[] = {
{ "in-stock", "number", "Number of items in stock" },
{ "name", "string", "Name of the item" },
{ "on-order", "number", "Number of items on order" },
{ "sku", "string", "Stock Keeping Unit" },
{ "sold", "number", "Number of items sold" },
};
int info_count = (sizeof(info) / sizeof(info[0]));
...
xo_set_info(NULL, info, info_count);
.Ed
.Pp
Third, the emission of info must be triggered with the
.Dv XOF_INFO
flag
using either the
.Fn xo_set_flags
function or the
.Dq --libxo=info
command line argument.
.Pp
The type and help values, if present, are emitted as the "data-type"
and "data-help" attributes:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
<div class="data" data-tag="sku" data-type="string"
data-help="Stock Keeping Unit">GRO-000-533</div>
