/**
* A text viewer connects a text widget with an
* {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocument}. The document is used as the
* widget's text model.
*
* It supports the following kinds of listeners:
*
* - view port listeners to inform about changes of the viewer's view port
* - text listeners to inform about changes of the document and the
* subsequent viewer change
* - text input listeners to inform about changes of the viewer's input
* document.
*
* A text viewer supports a set of configuration options and plug-ins defining
* its behavior:
*
* - undo manager
* - double click behavior
* - auto indentation
* - text hover
*
* Installed plug-ins are not automatically activated. Plug-ins must be
* activated with the activatePlugins call. Most plug-ins can be
* defined per content type. Content types are derived from a partitioning of
* the text viewer's input document. In case of documents that support multiple
* partitionings, the implementer is responsible for determining the
* partitioning to use.
*
* A text viewer also provides the concept of event consumption. Events handled
* by the viewer can be filtered and processed by a dynamic event consumer. With
* {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension}, this mechanism has been
* replaced with the support for
* {@link org.eclipse.swt.custom.VerifyKeyListener}.
*
* A text viewer provides several text editing functions, some of them are
* configurable, through a text operation target interface. It also supports a
* presentation mode in which it only shows a specified section of its document.
* By calling setVisibleRegion clients define which section is
* visible. Clients can get access to this section by calling
* getVisibleRegion. The viewer's presentation mode does not
* affect any client of the viewer other than text listeners. With
* {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension5} the visible region
* support has been reworked. With that extension interface, text viewers are
* allowed to show fractions of their input document. I.e. a widget selection of
* two visually neighboring characters is no longer guaranteed to be two
* neighboring characters in the viewer's input document. Thus, viewers
* implementing {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension5} are
* potentially forced to change the fractions of the input document that are
* shown when clients ask for the visible region.
*
*
* In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of
* ITextViewer, extension interfaces are used as a means of
* evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:
*
* - {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension} since version 2.0
* replacing the event consumer mechanism and introducing the concept of rewrite
* targets and means to manage the viewer's redraw behavior
* - {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension2}since version 2.1
* adding a way to invalidate a viewer's presentation and setters for hovers.
*
* - {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension3} since version 2.1
* which itself was replaced by
* {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension5} in version 3.0
* - {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension4} since version 3.0
* introducing focus handling for widget token keepers and the concept of text
* presentation listeners.
* - {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension5} since version 3.0
* extending the visible region concept with explicit handling and conversion
* of widget and model coordinates.
* - {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension6} since version 3.1
* extending the text viewer with the ability to detect hyperlinks and access the undo manager.
* - {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension7} since version 3.3
* extending the text viewer with the ability to install tabs to spaces conversion.
* - {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension8} since version 3.4
* extending the text viewer with the ability to print and rich hover support.
*
*
* Clients may implement this interface and its extension interfaces or use the
* standard implementation {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.TextViewer}.
