string Class — A series of characters. This isn't really a class, as suggested by its lower-case name. Parameters of type string pass by value, unlike all variables of real object types, which pass by reference. Instead, this is just a pseudo-class which provides convenience methods on instances of strings. The other pseudo-class is int.
compare(string s) : int
Compare one string with another. Returns a negative number if n is alphabetically before the subject, positive if greater or zero if the two are equal. Note that this function currently does a simple ASCII compare, not a proper unicode-aware sort.
contains(string sub) : bool
Return true if string contains $sub
css_keyword() : string
If the string is syntactically valid as a CSS keyword (only letters and spaces) returns it, else returns an empty string.
css_keyword(string[] allowed) : string
Same as string.css_keyword() except also imposes a whitelist of valid keywords given in $allowed.
css_keyword_list() : string
Analyses the string as a space-separated list of CSS keywords and returns a string containing the items that are syntactically acceptable.
css_keyword_list(string[] allowed) : string
Same as string.css_keyword_list() except also imposes a whitelist of valid keywords given in $allowed.
css_length_value() : string
If the string contains a valid CSS length value, returns a canonical version. Else returns an empty string.
css_string() : string
Returns the string escaped and quoted as a CSS string literal, safe for insertion into a stylesheet.
