| Provides support for describing and applying textual document editions. |
| <p> |
| A complex textual edition can be described by a tree of <code>TextEdit</code>s. An edit |
| can be applied to an <code>IDocument</code> by calling <code>TextEdit.apply</code> or by |
| using a <code>TextEditProcessor</code>. Applying a text edit can record a reverse edit |
| description that can be used to undo the edition. |
| </p> |
| Use the standard edit kinds to describe the basic document editing operations: |
| <ul> |
| <li><em>replace</em> a document range: <code>ReplaceEdit</code></li> |
| <li><em>delete</em> a document range: <code>DeleteEdit</code></li> |
| <li><em>insert</em> text: <code>InsertEdit</code></li> |
| <li><em>track</em> a range while the document is being modified: <code>RangeMarker</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Other subclasses of <code>TextEdit</code> exist for specialized tasks. Use <code>MultiTextEdit</code> to |
| compose a complex edit tree, or subclass it to provide a custom edit. |
