Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

Specify file type when opening document (stream or file)

Description

The file type is determined by the file extension (if present; fast) or the file content (for the stream or if the file extension is not present or not recognized; slow, since the file content is recognized by algorithms). This feature allows you to specify a file type using LoadOptions to avoid the detection procedure.

Public API changes

LoadOptions public class was updated with changes as follows:

• Added LoadOptions(FileType) constructor.

• Added LoadOptions(FileType, string) constructor.

• Added LoadOptions(FileTypet, string, Encoding, Encoding) constructor.

• Added LoadOptions(FileType, string, Encoding, Encoding, TimeSpan) constructor.

• Added FileType property.

Usage

The following example shows how to specify the file type:

// Create an instance of Parser class for markdown document
using (Parser parser = new Parser(stream, new LoadOptions(FileType.MD)))
{
    // Check if text extraction is supported
    if (!parser.Features.Text)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Text extraction isn't supported.");
        return;
    }
    using (TextReader reader = parser.GetText())
    {
        // Print the document text
        // Markdown is detected; text without special symbols is printed
        Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
    }
}
