-            *
-Utility class for working with DOM and/or Templates. It transparently supports using HTML fragments or DOM.<br>
-This is an example, where an unordered list with 5 children items is appended to an existing element with id 'my-div':<br>\r
- <pre><code>var dh = Ext.DomHelper;
-<b>var</b> list = dh.append(<em>'my-div'</em>, {
-    id: <em>'my-ul'</em>, tag: <em>'ul'</em>, cls: <em>'my-list'</em>, children: [
-        {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item0'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 0'</em>},
-        {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item1'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 1'</em>},
-        {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item2'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 2'</em>},
-        {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item3'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 3'</em>},
-        {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item4'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 4'</em>}
-    ]
-});</code></pre>
-<p>Element creation specification parameters in this class may also be passed as an Array of
-specification objects. This can be used to insert multiple sibling nodes into an existing
-container very efficiently. For example, to add more list items to the example above:<pre><code>dh.append(<em>'my-ul'</em>, [
-    {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item5'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 5'</em>},
-    {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item6'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 6'</em>} ]);</code></pre></p>
-<p>Element creation specification parameters may also be strings. If <a ext:cls="useDom" href="output/useDom.html">useDom</a> is false, then the string is used
-as innerHTML. If <a ext:cls="useDom" href="output/useDom.html">useDom</a> is true, a string specification results in the creation of a text node.</p>
-For more information and examples, see <a href="http://www.jackslocum.com/blog/2006/10/06/domhelper-create-elements-using-dom-html-fragments-or-templates/">the original blog post</a>.<br><br><i>This class is a singleton and cannot be created directly.</i>        </div>

+<p><b><u>Example</u></b></p>\r
+<p>This is an example, where an unordered list with 3 children items is appended to an existing\r
+element with id <tt>'my-div'</tt>:<br>\r
+ <pre><code><b>var</b> dh = Ext.DomHelper; <i>// create shorthand alias\r</i>
+<i>// specification object\r</i>
+<b>var</b> spec = {\r
+    id: <em>'my-ul'</em>,\r
+    tag: <em>'ul'</em>,\r
+    cls: <em>'my-list'</em>,\r
+    <i>// append children after creating\r</i>
+    children: [     <i>// may also specify <em>'cn'</em> instead of <em>'children'</em>\r</i>
+        {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item0'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 0'</em>},\r
+        {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item1'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 1'</em>},\r
+        {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item2'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 2'</em>}\r
+    ]\r
+};\r
+<b>var</b> list = dh.append(\r
+    <em>'my-div'</em>, <i>// the context element <em>'my-div'</em> can either be the id or the actual node\r</i>
+    spec      <i>// the specification object\r</i>
+);</code></pre></p>\r
+<p>Element creation specification parameters in this class may also be passed as an Array of\r
+specification objects. This can be used to insert multiple sibling nodes into an existing\r
+container very efficiently. For example, to add more list items to the example above:<pre><code>dh.append(<em>'my-ul'</em>, [\r
+    {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item3'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 3'</em>},\r
+    {tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item4'</em>, html: <em>'List Item 4'</em>}\r
+]);</code></pre></p>\r
+<p><b><u>Templating</u></b></p>\r
+<p>The real power is in the built-in templating. Instead of creating or appending any elements,\r
+<tt><a href="output/Ext.DomHelper.html#Ext.DomHelper-createTemplate" ext:member="createTemplate" ext:cls="Ext.DomHelper">createTemplate</a></tt> returns a Template object which can be used over and over to\r
+insert new elements. Revisiting the example above, we could utilize templating this time:\r
+<pre><code><i>// create the node\r</i>
+<b>var</b> list = dh.append(<em>'my-div'</em>, {tag: <em>'ul'</em>, cls: <em>'my-list'</em>});\r
+<i>// get template\r</i>
+<b>var</b> tpl = dh.createTemplate({tag: <em>'li'</em>, id: <em>'item{0}'</em>, html: <em>'List Item {0}'</em>});\r
+\r
+<b>for</b>(<b>var</b> i = 0; i < 5, i++){\r
+    tpl.append(list, [i]); <i>// use template to append to the actual node\r</i>
+}</code></pre></p>\r
+<p>An example using a template:<pre><code><b>var</b> html = <em>'<a id=<em>"{0}"</em> href=<em>"{1}"</em> class=<em>"nav"</em>>{2}</a>'</em>;\r
+\r
+<b>var</b> tpl = <b>new</b> Ext.DomHelper.createTemplate(html);\r
+tpl.append(<em>'blog-roll'</em>, [<em>'link1'</em>, <em>'http:<i>//www.jackslocum.com/'</em>, <em>"Jack&#39;s Site"</em>]);\r</i>
+tpl.append(<em>'blog-roll'</em>, [<em>'link2'</em>, <em>'http:<i>//www.dustindiaz.com/'</em>, <em>"Dustin&#39;s Site"</em>]);</i></code></pre></p>\r
+<p>The same example using named parameters:<pre><code><b>var</b> html = <em>'<a id=<em>"{id}"</em> href=<em>"{url}"</em> class=<em>"nav"</em>>{text}</a>'</em>;\r
+\r
+<b>var</b> tpl = <b>new</b> Ext.DomHelper.createTemplate(html);\r
+tpl.append(<em>'blog-roll'</em>, {\r
+    id: <em>'link1'</em>,\r
+    url: <em>'http:<i>//www.jackslocum.com/'</em>,\r</i>
+    text: <em>"Jack&#39;s Site"</em>\r
+});\r
+tpl.append(<em>'blog-roll'</em>, {\r
+    id: <em>'link2'</em>,\r
+    url: <em>'http:<i>//www.dustindiaz.com/'</em>,\r</i>
+    text: <em>"Dustin&#39;s Site"</em>\r
+});</code></pre></p>\r
+<p><b><u>Compiling Templates</u></b></p>\r
+<p>Templates are applied using regular expressions. The performance is great, but if\r
+you are adding a bunch of DOM elements using the same template, you can increase\r
+performance even further by <a href="output/Ext.Template.html#Ext.Template-compile" ext:member="compile" ext:cls="Ext.Template">"compiling"</a> the template.\r
+The way "<a href="output/Ext.Template.html#Ext.Template-compile" ext:member="compile" ext:cls="Ext.Template">compile()</a>" works is the template is parsed and\r
+broken up at the different variable points and a dynamic function is created and eval'ed.\r
+The generated function performs string concatenation of these parts and the passed\r
+variables instead of using regular expressions.\r
+<pre><code><b>var</b> html = <em>'<a id=<em>"{id}"</em> href=<em>"{url}"</em> class=<em>"nav"</em>>{text}</a>'</em>;\r
+\r
+<b>var</b> tpl = <b>new</b> Ext.DomHelper.createTemplate(html);\r
+tpl.compile();\r
+\r
+<i>//... use template like normal</i></code></pre></p>\r
+<p><b><u>Performance Boost</u></b></p>\r
+<p>DomHelper will transparently create HTML fragments when it can. Using HTML fragments instead\r
+of DOM can significantly boost performance.</p>\r
+<p>Element creation specification parameters may also be strings. If <a href="output/Ext.DomHelper.html#Ext.DomHelper-useDom" ext:member="useDom" ext:cls="Ext.DomHelper">useDom</a> is <tt>false</tt>,\r
+then the string is used as innerHTML. If <a href="output/Ext.DomHelper.html#Ext.DomHelper-useDom" ext:member="useDom" ext:cls="Ext.DomHelper">useDom</a> is <tt>true</tt>, a string specification\r
+results in the creation of a text node. Usage:</p>\r
