/**
 * Adapts an {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocument}to the
 * {@link org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledTextContent} interface. The document
 * adapter is used by {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.TextViewer} to translate
 * document changes into styled text content changes and vice versa.
 * 
 * Clients may implement this interface and override
 * TextViewer.createDocumentAdapter if they want to intercept the
 * communication between the viewer's text widget and the viewer's document.
 * 

 * In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of
 * IDocumentAdapter, extension interfaces are used as a means of
 * evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:
 * 

 * {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocumentAdapterExtension} since version
 *     2.0 introducing a way of batching a sequence of document changes into a
 *     single styled text content notification
 * 
 *
 * @see org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocumentAdapterExtension
