Class MarkedObject

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Element
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    MarkedSection
    public class MarkedObject
extends java.lang.Object
implements Element
    Wrapper that allows to add properties to 'basic building block' objects. Before iText 1.5 every 'basic building block' implemented the MarkupAttributes interface. By setting attributes, you could add markup to the corresponding XML and/or HTML tag. This functionality was hardly used by anyone, so it was removed, and replaced by the MarkedObject functionality.
