Interface IDocumentAdapter

All Superinterfaces:
  StyledTextContent

public interface IDocumentAdapter
extends StyledTextContent

Adapts an `IDocument`to the `StyledTextContent` interface. The document adapter is used by `TextViewer` to translate document changes into styled text content changes and vice versa.

Clients may implement this interface and override `TextViewer.createDocumentAdapter` if they want to intercept the communication between the viewer's text widget and the viewer's document.

In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of `IDocumentAdapter`, extension interfaces are used as a means of evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:

- `IDocumentAdapterExtension` since version 2.0 introducing a way of batching a sequence of document changes into a single styled text content notification

See Also:
  `IDocumentAdapterExtension`, `IDocument`
