can't get prohtml library examples to work

in Contributed Library Questions • 3 years ago

Installed the ProHTML library in standard sketchbook location. Restarted Processing as usual.

When trying to run an example or two, the library objects aren't working. For example, with the HtmlElement example, Processing craps out saying "The constructor HtmlElement(String, null) is undefined"

any idea what's wrong?

You have to rename this sketch (and any other using the name of a class). There is a clash between the generated sketch class name and the library class name. HtmlElement_getDepth, for example, will work fine.

Works. Thanks.

Yep, I'd only attempted to run the examples with the same name as classes... HtmlElement, HtmlList, HtmlTree... any idea why these are named thusly in the first place?

No, but I am suspecting a change in Processing, so what worked in the past no longer works now. Avoiding to use class names for sketch names in generally a good practice (or the reverse is troublesome, if you prefer).
