getTitle

public java.lang.String getTitle()

Get the title The title will be extracted from sub-class specific information, for example from the caption of an image, or the first line of an abstract. The title will be in plain text format. This is a commodity method useful when displaying lists of contents.

viewFormat

public java.lang.Object viewFormat(java.lang.String format)

Get the content in a certain format This most important method will return a view of the content, under the specified format. For now, formats will be unconstrained. We only expect to use "html". In the future we can set up a global list of formats, and for each content subclass a list of the formats it supports. Each format would also specify what type it returns (for "html", it is "String").
