  Text Edits



Provides support for describing and applying textual document editions.

A complex textual edition can be described by a tree of TextEdits. An edit
can be applied to an IDocument by calling TextEdit.apply or by 
using a TextEditProcessor. Applying a text edit can record a reverse edit
description that can be used to undo the edition.

Use the standard edit kinds to describe the basic document editing operations:

  replace a document range: ReplaceEdit
  delete a document range: DeleteEdit
  insert text: InsertEdit
  track a range while the document is being modified: RangeMarker


Other subclasses of TextEdit exist for specialized tasks. Use MultiTextEdit to
compose a complex edit tree, or subclass it to provide a custom edit.
