| * An <code>IPresentationReconciler</code> defines and maintains the representation of a |
| * text viewer's document in the presence of changes applied to the document. |
| * An <code>IPresentationReconciler</code> is a <code>ITextViewer</code> add-on.<p> |
| * The presentation reconciler keeps track of changes applied to the text viewer. It sends |
| * each change to presentation damagers which are registered for the content types of the |
| * regions in which the change occurred. The presentation reconciler passes the computed |
| * damage to presentation repairers which construct text presentations. Those text presentation |
| * when applied to the presentation reconciler's text viewer bring the document's presentation |
| * in sync with the document's content and thus repair the damage. A presentation damager |
| * is expected to return damage which is a valid input for a presentation repairer registered |
| * for the same content type as the damager.<p> |
| * A presentation reconciler should always be configured with damager/repairer pairs. I.e. |
| * for each damager there should be a corresponding repairer.<p> |
| * The interface can be implemented by clients. By default, clients use |
| * <code>PresentationReconciler</code> as the standard implementer of this interface. |
