28 | <H2>2.2.9. Dual-Use Filters</H2> | |
29 | ||

31 | <P> | |
32 | It can be confusing to maintain two separate filters — one for input and the other for output — to implement the same filtering algorithm. One way to avoid this is to use the <A HREF="writing_filters.html#filter_helpers">filter helpers</A> mentioned above. The filter helpers produce filters which can be used for either input or output, but not both simultaneously. Such filters are called <A HREF="../concepts/dual_use_filter.html">Dual-Use Filters</A>. | |
33 | </P> | |
34 | ||
35 | <P> | |
36 | A <A HREF="../concepts/dual_use_filter.html">Dual-Use Filter</A> can be produced by merging the implementations of an <A HREF="../concepts/input_filter.html">InputFilter</A> and an <A HREF="../concepts/output_filter.html">OutputFilter</A>, and giving the resulting class a <A HREF="../guide/traits.html#category">category</A> convertible to <A HREF="../guide/traits.html#category_tags"><CODE>dual_use_filter_tag</CODE></A>. For example, you can implement a <A HREF="shell_comments_filters.html">shell comments Filter</A> as a Dual-Use Filter as follows: | |
