<!DOCTYPE html><!-- This page is a placeholder for generated extensions api doc. Note: 1) The <head> information in this page is significant, should be uniform across api docs and should be edited only with knowledge of the templating mechanism. 2) The <body> tag *must* retain id="body" 3) All <body>.innerHTML is genereated as an rendering step. If viewed in a browser, it will be re-generated from the template, json schema and authored overview content. 4) The <body>.innerHTML is also generated by an offline step so that this page may easily be indexed by search engines. TODO(rafaelw): Abstract this into a "pageshell" that becomes the single version of page template shell and the "instance" pages (bookmarks.html, etc...) can be generated with a build step. --><!-- <html> must retain id="template --><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" jstcache="0"><!-- <head> data is significant and loads the needed libraries and styles --><head jstcache="0"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" jstcache="0"> <title jscontent="pageTitle" jstcache="1">chrome.extension API Reference</title> <link href="css/ApiRefStyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" jstcache="0"> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../../third_party/jstemplate/jstemplate_compiled.js" jstcache="0"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/api_page_generator.js" jstcache="0"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap.js" jstcache="0"></script> </head><!-- <body> content is completely generated.
