Interface TextFormat

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Prioritized>, Contextual, HandlerPlugin<File>, HasPluginInfo, Prioritized, RichPlugin, SciJavaPlugin, SingletonPlugin, Typed<File>, TypedPlugin<File>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTextFormat

public interface TextFormat
extends HandlerPlugin<File>

TextFormat is a plugin that provides handling for a text markup language.

Text formats discoverable at runtime must implement this interface and be annotated with @Plugin with attribute Plugin.type() = TextFormat.class. While it possible to create a text format merely by implementing this interface, it is encouraged to instead extend AbstractTextFormat, for convenience.
