      • generateHTML

        public static java.lang.String generateHTML​(Configuration configuration)
        Generate HTML about the copyrights for classes that might be present in the configuration. This method contains a list of classes and corresponding copyrights. If a class in the list is present, then we generate html that contains a link to the copyright. Note that if the copyright file need not be present on the local machine, we generate a link to the copy on the Ptolemy website.

        If the configuration contains an _applicationName attribute then that attributed is used as the name of the application in the generated text. If _applicationName is not present, then the default name is "Ptolemy II".

        If the configuration contains an _applicationCopyright StringAttribute, then the value of that attributed is used as the location of the copyright html file. If _applicationCopyright is not present, then "ptolemy/configs/doc/copyright.htm" is used.

        If the configuration has a parameter called _applicationCopyrights that is an array of records where each element is a record 

          {actor="ptolemy.actor.lib.Foo", copyright="foo.htm"}
        then we add that actor/copyright pair to the list of potential copyrights.
        Parameters:
        configuration - The configuration to look for the _applicationName and _applicationCopyright attributes in.
        Returns:
        A String containing HTML that describes what copyrights are used by Entities in the configuration
