The HTML font and spacing information to render before the tag; otherwise, if there is no such information to render, null.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to override the RenderBeforeTag method. The code checks whether an a element is being rendered. If so, the overridden RenderBeforeTag method writes the opening tag of a small element. The sample for the RenderAfterTag performs the same check for the a element, and then writes the closing tag of the small element.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the Html32TextWriter class.
// Override the RenderBeforeTag method to render the
// opening tag of a <small> element to modify the text size of
// any <a> elements that this writer encounters.
protected override string RenderBeforeTag()
{
// Check whether the element being rendered is an
// <a> element. If so, render the opening tag
// of the <small> element; otherwise, call the base method.
if (TagKey == HtmlTextWriterTag.A)
return "<small>";
return base.RenderBeforeTag();
}
' Override the RenderBeforeTag method to render the
