Method Detail

closeTypeInside

void closeTypeInside(java.lang.String type,
                     Span s)

Make it the case that there are no spans of the given type contained by the given span, other than those already inserted to exist.

defineTypeInside

void defineTypeInside(java.lang.String type,
                      Span s,
                      java.util.Iterator<Span> i)

Make it the case that there are no spans whatsoever of the given type contained by the given span, other than those described by the given span looper.

setTextBase

void setTextBase(TextBase textBase)

Initialize the textbase which is annotated by this TextLabels. This produces an error if the current textbase has already been set.
