class StyledText(object):
"""Helper class to enable character based text formatting.
StyledText is a wrapper class binding the clear text string and it's
formatting tags together.
StyledText provides several string methods in order to manipulate
formatted strings, such as :meth:`~gen.lib.styledtext.StyledText.join`,
:meth:`~gen.lib.styledtext.StyledText.replace`,
:meth:`~gen.lib.styledtext.StyledText.split`, and also
supports the '+' operation (:meth:`~gen.lib.styledtext.StyledText.__add__`).
To get the clear text of the StyledText use the built-in str() function.
To get the list of formatting tags use the L{get_tags} method.
StyledText supports the I{creation} of formatted texts too. This feature
is intended to replace (or extend) the current report interface.
To be continued... FIXME
:ivar string: (str) The clear text part.
:ivar tags: (list of :class:`~gen.lib.styledtexttag.StyledTextTag`) Text
tags holding formatting information for the string.
:cvar POS_TEXT: Position of *string* attribute in the serialized format of
an instance.
:cvar POS_TAGS: (int) Position of *tags* attribute in the serialized format of
an instance.
:attention: The POS_<x> class variables reflect the serialized object,
they have to be updated in case the data structure or the L{serialize}
method changes!
:note:
1. There is no sanity check of tags in
:meth:`~gen.lib.styledtext.StyledText.__init__`, because when a
StyledText is displayed it is passed to a StyledTextBuffer, which
in turn will 'eat' all invalid tags (including out-of-range tags too).
2. After string methods the tags can become fragmented. That means the
same tag may appear more than once in the tag list with different ranges.
There could be a 'merge_tags' functionality in
:meth:`~gen.lib.styledtext.StyledText.__init__`, however
StyledTextBuffer will merge them automatically if the text is displayed.
