Detailed Description
Function to handle text properties.
Each character in an M-text can have properties called text properties. Text properties
store various kinds of information attached to parts of an M-text to provide application
programs with a unified view of those information. As rich information can be stored in
M-texts in the form of text properties, functions in application programs can be simple.
A text property consists of a key and values, where key is a symbol and values are
anything that can be cast to (void *) . Unlike other types of properties, a text property
can have multiple values. 'The text property whose key is K' may be shortened to 'K
property'.
Typedef Documentation
typedef MPlist*(* MTextPropSerializeFunc)(void *val)
Type of serializer functions. This is the type of serializer functions. If the key of a
symbol property is Mtext_prop_serializer, the value must be of this type.
SEE ALSO
mtext_serialize(), Mtext_prop_serializer
typedef void*(* MTextPropDeserializeFunc)(MPlist *plist)
Type of deserializer functions. This is the type of deserializer functions. If the key of
a symbol property is Mtext_prop_deserializer, the value must be of this type.
SEE ALSO
mtext_deserialize(), Mtext_prop_deserializer
typedef struct MTextProperty MTextProperty
Type of text properties. The type MTextProperty is for a text property objects. Its
internal structure is concealed from application programs.
Enumeration Type Documentation
enum MTextPropertyControl
Flag bits to control text property. The mtext_property() function accepts logical OR of
these flag bits as an argument. They control the behaviour of the created text property as
described in the documentation of each flag bit.
Enumerator:
MTEXTPROP_FRONT_STICKY
If this flag bit is on, an M-text inserted at the start position or at the middle
of the text property inherits the text property.
MTEXTPROP_REAR_STICKY
If this flag bit is on, an M-text inserted at the end position or at the middle of
the text property inherits the text property.
MTEXTPROP_VOLATILE_WEAK
If this flag bit is on, the text property is removed if a text in its region is
modified.
MTEXTPROP_VOLATILE_STRONG
If this flag bit is on, the text property is removed if a text or the other text
property in its region is modified.
MTEXTPROP_NO_MERGE
If this flag bit is on, the text property is not automatically merged with the
others.
MTEXTPROP_CONTROL_MAX
Variable Documentation
MSymbol Mtext_prop_serializer
Symbol for specifying serializer functions. To serialize a text property, the user must
supply a serializer function for that text property. This is done by giving a symbol
property whose key is Mtext_prop_serializer and value is a pointer to an appropriate
serializer function.
SEE ALSO
mtext_serialize(), MTextPropSerializeFunc
MSymbol Mtext_prop_deserializer
Symbol for specifying deserializer functions. To deserialize a text property, the user
must supply a deserializer function for that text property. This is done by giving a
symbol property whose key is Mtext_prop_deserializer and value is a pointer to an
appropriate deserializer function.
