string = XBRLTransformData ( [handle hXM], string type | PVALUE type, string data );

Parameters

hXM

An optional handle to an XBRL Object.

type

A string or PVALUE specifying the Transform QName name to validate/translate against.

A string containing the data to validate/translate.

Return Value

Returns a string containing the transform data or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve the same formatted error code and GetLastErrorMessage to retrieve narrative on the error.

Remarks

Transforms allow formatted HTML data to be transformed into standard XBRL data constructs.

If an XBRL Model Object is not provided, the model is reinitialized. and the Data Type table reloaded on every call. Use the XBRLCreateObject to create an empty object for repeat calls.

When string is used to defined the transformation type (or name), the default prefix is “ixt:”. If the transform is not found, the prefix is adjusted with “ixt:”. This operation is performed even if a taxonomy is loaded with a different namespace prefix.
