Method Detail

getUnitSymbol

public static java.lang.String getUnitSymbol(javax.xml.namespace.QName q)

Returns a text string representing the symbol for this unit or null if no one is set.

the unit symbol

getUnitString

public static java.lang.String getUnitString(XBRLUnit unit)

This static method returns the representation character for an XBRL Unit.

If the unit is a simple unit, then the representation is the unit character or an string that represents the monetary unit. for example "$" is returned for iso4017:USD and "CLP" is returned for iso4217:CLP

If the unit is composed by a set of units in the numerator then a string representing the product of the units is returned. Example iso4217:USD,iso4217:CLP would return "$ × CLP".

If the unit has numerator units and denominator units the division character "/" is put in the position required to make the unit representation meaningful.

Parameters:

unit - XBRLUnit object

Returns:

String

getUnitHtml

public static java.lang.String getUnitHtml(XBRLUnit unit)

Works identically as getUnitString(XBRLUnit) except that the returned string is HTML code that can be used for tooltips.

Parameters:

unit - XBRLUnit

Returns:

String with HTML code
