This package provides editing, filing, and various other operations for text nodes

Overview:

a text node contains a rope and runs of looks

looks are represented by a vector of 32 bits

each character in a text node has looks vector associated with it

run encoding is used to reduce the storage needed to represent the looks

see TextLooks.Mesa for more information about looks

see TextNode.Mesa for the details of text node structure

Text editing

operations are provided to edit the contents of text nodes

unlike ropes or runs of looks, text nodes are mutable

i.e., the edit changes the node rather than returning a new node

the looks related commands are

AddLooks, RemoveLooks, SetLooks, ClearLooks, and ChangeLooks

the text related commands are

ReplaceText, DeleteText, CopyText, MoveText, MoveTextOnto, TransposeText

the word commands are

ReplaceWords, DeleteWords, CopyWords, MoveWords, MoveWordsOnto, TransposeWords

in addition there are commands taking a character/string/rope as source

ReplaceByChar, InsertChar, AppendChar

ReplaceByString, InsertString, AppendString

ReplaceByRope, InsertRope, AppendRope

several commands are available for changing capitalization

AllCaps, AllLower, InitialCaps

Persistent addresses in text of a node

You can associate an address with a character location in a text node

the address persists with the same character even if the text is edited

the address is an arbitrary REF ANY supplied by the client program

see NodeAddrs.Mesa for the persistent addressing operations

Property lists

Each node includes a property list of key-value pairs

The keys are ATOMs and the values are arbitrary REF ANYs

Clients can register routines to read/write properties to files

and to copy property values when nodes are copied

see NodeProps.Mesa for the property list operations

Character property lists

Each character may include a property list of key-value pairs

The keys are ATOMs and the values are arbitrary REF ANYs

Filing

There are operations to read and write files containing text nodes

The characters go at the front of the file, followed by 0's

then the information about looks, etc.

and finally a password and a pointer to the end of the text.

Thus programs that simply want to look at the characters can read up to 0's

operations to read/write nodes to files are found in PutGet.Mesa

Edit notification procedures

Client's can register procedures to be called before/after edits

the client procedure is called with the node(s) changed by the edit

and a record describing the details of the edit

see EditNotify.Mesa for more information

Other kinds of nodes

clients can create their own varieties in addition to the basic text nodes

simply need to provide routines to write specs to files,

take specs read from file and create a corresponding node,

and to copy when nodes are copied

see OtherNode.Mesa for details

Tree editing

nodes can have children

there is a set of tree editing operations available

see EditSpan.Mesa for details

TextEdit: CEDAR DEFINITIONS

= BEGIN

RefTextNode: TYPE = TextNode.Ref;

ROPE: TYPE = Rope.ROPE;

Looks: TYPE = TextLooks.Looks;

noLooks: Looks = TextLooks.noLooks;

allLooks: Looks = TextLooks.allLooks;

Offset: TYPE = INT;

MaxLen, MaxOffset: INT = LAST[INT];

MaxNat: NAT = LAST[NAT];

Event: TYPE = UndoEvent.Ref;

CharSet: TYPE ~ [0..256); -- for XNS 16-bit character set; use in conjunction with 8-bit CHAR

Note: Character properties are implemented using a ROSARY (an immutable sequence of REFs; see Rosary.mesa), appearing in the CharSets property of the node. The values in this ROSARY are of type REF CharSet.

General operations

FetchChar: PROC [text: RefTextNode, index: INT] RETURNS [charSet: CharSet, char: CHAR];

fetches the indexed information

use rope readers if want characters from contiguous locations

FetchLooks: PROC [text: RefTextNode, index: INT] RETURNS [Looks];

returns the looks for the character at the given location

use readers if getting looks for sequence of locations

Fetch: PROC [text: RefTextNode, index: INT] RETURNS [charSet: CharSet, char: CHAR, looks: Looks];

fetches the indexed information, except for character properties

use rope & looks readers if want info from contiguous locations

GetRope: PROC [text: RefTextNode] RETURNS [ROPE];

GetRuns: PROC [text: RefTextNode] RETURNS [TextLooks.Runs];

Size: PROC [text: RefTextNode] RETURNS [INT];

Flatten: PROC [text: RefTextNode] RETURNS [BOOL];

returns true if it decides to flatten rope & runs

this is done automatically after a certain number of edits to the node

Operations to create a text node

FromRope: PROC [rope: ROPE] RETURNS [RefTextNode];

create a text node with looks from a normal rope

FromString: PROC [string: REF READONLY TEXT] RETURNS [RefTextNode];

copies the contents of the string

DocFromNode: PROC [child: RefTextNode] RETURNS [root: RefTextNode];

returns root node which has one child

child typically created by FromRope or FromString

Operations to add or delete looks

ChangeLooks: PROC [root: RefTextNode, text: RefTextNode, remove, add: Looks,
start: INT ← 0, len: INT ← MaxOffset, event: Event ← NIL];

first remove then add in the given range

AddLooks: PROC [root: RefTextNode, text: RefTextNode, add: Looks,
start: INT ← 0, len: INT ← MaxOffset, event: Event ← NIL];

RemoveLooks: PROC [root: RefTextNode, text: RefTextNode, remove: Looks ← allLooks,
start: INT ← 0, len: INT ← MaxOffset, event: Event ← NIL];

SetLooks: PROC [root: RefTextNode, text: RefTextNode, new: Looks,
start: INT ← 0, len: INT ← MaxOffset, event: Event ← NIL];

ClearLooks: PROC [root: RefTextNode, text: RefTextNode,
start: INT ← 0, len: INT ← MaxOffset, event: Event ← NIL];

Character Properties

GetCharProp: PROC [node: RefTextNode, index: INT, name: ATOM] RETURNS [value: REF];

PutCharProp: PROC [node: RefTextNode, index: INT, name: ATOM, value: REF, nChars: INT ← 1,
event: Event ← NIL, root: RefTextNode ← NIL];

Places the value on the character property lists of the chars in the specified range.

Use value = NIL to remove a character property.

MapCharProps: PROC [node: RefTextNode, index: INT, action: MapPropsAction] RETURNS [quit: BOOL];

Used for traversing all the properites attached to a particular character.

MapPropsAction: TYPE ~ PROC [name: ATOM, value: REF] RETURNS [quit: BOOL ← FALSE];

ModifyCharProps: PROC [node: RefTextNode, name: ATOM, index: INT ← 0, nChars: INT ← INT.LAST, action: ModifyPropsAction, event: Event ← NIL, root: RefTextNode ← NIL] RETURNS [quit: BOOL];

Used for traversing and altering the values of a character property ofer a range of characters; the action procedure is called for runs of properties, but adjacent runs are not necessarily merged.

ModifyPropsAction: TYPE ~ PROC [value: REF, index: INT, nChars: INT] RETURNS [quit: BOOL ← FALSE, newValue: REF];

PropList: TYPE ~ Atom.PropList;

This property list mechanism regards a PropList as an immutable value.

GetCharPropList: PROC [node: RefTextNode, index: INT] RETURNS [PropList ← NIL];

PutCharPropList: PROC [node: RefTextNode, index: INT, propList: PropList, nChars: INT ← 1, event: Event ← NIL, root: RefTextNode ← NIL];

NOTE: edit operations do not create or delete addrs,
but they can change their locations within the text

dest: RefTextNode, destStart: INT ← 0, destLen: INT ← MaxLen,
source: RefTextNode, sourceStart: INT ← 0, sourceLen: INT ← MaxLen,

dest: RefTextNode, destLoc: INT ← 0,
source: RefTextNode, start: INT ← 0, len: INT ← MaxLen,
event: Event ← NIL] RETURNS [resultStart, resultLen: INT];

OneSpanProc: TYPE = PROC [root: RefTextNode,
text: RefTextNode, start: INT ← 0, len: INT ← MaxLen,
event: Event ← NIL];

] RETURNS [alphaResultStart, alphaResultLen, betaResultStart, betaResultLen: INT];

ReplaceText: TwoSpanProc;

replace the dest text by a copy of the source text

addrs that are in the replaced text move to destStart

addrs that are after the replaced text are adjusted

DeleteText: OneSpanProc;

delete the specified range of text

addrs that are in the deleted section move to start

CopyText: DestSpanProc;

copy the specified text

add length of inserted text to addrs that are beyond destLoc

MoveText: DestSpanProc;

move [start..start+len) in source to destLoc in dest

no-op if dest=source and destLoc IN [start..start+len]

addrs that are in the moved text do one of the following:

move with the text if dest = source,

or move to start if dest # source

MoveTextOnto: TwoSpanProc;

move [start..start+len) onto [destStart..destStart+destLen)

implemented by appropriate calls on MoveText and DeleteText

transpose the alpha text and the beta text

addrs treated same as in Move

move with the text if alpha = beta,

or move to respective starts if alpha # beta
