| /** |
| * Marker-style interface for a content outline page. This interface defines |
| * the minimum requirement for pages within the content outline view, namely |
| * they must be pages (implement <code>IPage</code>) and provide selections |
| * (implement <code>ISelectionProvider</code>). |
| * <p> |
| * Access to a content outline page begins when an editor is activated. When |
| * activation occurs, the content outline view will ask the editor for its |
| * content outline page. This is done by invoking |
| * <code>getAdapter(IContentOutlinePage.class)</code> on the editor. |
| * If the editor returns a page, the view then creates the controls for that |
| * page (using <code>createControl</code>) and makes the page visible. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * Clients may implement this interface from scratch, or subclass the |
| * abstract base class <code>ContentOutlinePage</code>. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * Note that this interface extends <code>ISelectionProvider</code>. |
| * This is no longer required in the case of implementors who also |
| * implement <code>IPageBookViewPage</code> (or extend <code>Page</code>) |
| * as they are now passed an <code>IPageSite</code> during their initialization |
| * and this site can be configured with a selection provider. |
| * However to avoid a breaking change |
| * 1) this interface will continue to extend ISelectionProvider |
| * 2) if an IContentOutlinePage does not set a selection provider for its |
| * site, the ContentOutline will continue to use the page itself for |
| * this purpose. |
| * </p> |
