> Add Utility to allow conversion from Panel (or Component) to html String
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WICKET-5005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5005
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Steve Lowery
> Assignee: Martin Grigorov
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: email, html, template, utility
>
> I think it would be useful to add a utility class/method to convert from a
> Panel or Component to its markup String. There are at least 2 very valid use
> cases where doing this makes sense:
> 1. You are trying to create an html email to send out to your customers.
> Building that content out with wicket is a great way to do it. We are able
> to harness Wicket's awesome i18n capabilities to generate the content.
> Otherwise, we resort to ResourceBundles or having to introduce some other
> templating library.
> 2. Many Javascript APIs/JQuery Plugins (i.e. growl notifications, popovers,
> etc) want the html content passed in. Again, ideally the component is
> written in wicket and we could use the utility to convert it to a String.
> The blog post below (thanks Cedric!) suggests a way to do this, but I think
> it would be helpful to be included in the wicket framework. What do you guys
> think?
