    --- | ---
    `static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>` | `buildNameValueMap(java.util.List args)` Same as `buildNameValueMap(java.util.List, int)` but index equals zero.
    `static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>` | `buildNameValueMap(java.util.List args, int begin)` Extract a string from each list element and build a map with them.
    `static int` | `extractInteger(java.lang.Object arg)` Extract an integer from the given parameter. The parameter could be: a `List` containing exactly one `Node` a `NodeWrapper` a `Node` a `String` or an `Integer` In the first 3 cases, if the node type is `Node.ELEMENT_NODE` the (trimmed) text content is returned.
    `static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>` | `extractNameValueMap(org.w3c.dom.Element elt)` Extract the name/value from an xml element similar too: <elt> <foovar>bar</foovar> <myvar>value1</myvar> </elt> The local name of the element is the map key, the text content the associated value.

    - #### buildNameValueMap

          public static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> buildNameValueMap(java.util.List args,
                                                                           int begin)

      Extract a string from each list element and build a map with them.
      Elements at even indices would be the keys, Elements at odd indices the values.
      Parameters:
        `args` - the list containing a serie of name, value, name, value, and so on
        `begin` - index of the first name to include in the map, (args.size - begin) must be an even number or an IndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown
      Returns:
        a Map of name/value pairs
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException`
