public abstract class InlineStory 
extends CompositeNode

Base class for inline-level nodes that can contain paragraphs and tables.

InlineStory is a container for block-level nodes Paragraph and Aspose.Words.Tables.Table.

The classes that derive from InlineStory are inline-level nodes that can contain their own text (paragraphs and tables). For example, a Comment node contains text of a comment and a Footnote contains text of a footnote.

Method Detail

accept

→ inherited from Node
public abstract boolean accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)
                            throws java.lang.Exception
Accepts a visitor.

Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

Parameters:
visitor - The visitor that will visit the nodes.
Returns:
True if all nodes were visited; false if DocumentVisitor stopped the operation before visiting all nodes.

appendChild

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public Node appendChild(Node newChild)
Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes for this node.

If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use DocumentBase.importNode(com.aspose.words.Node,boolean,int) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

Parameters:
newChild - The node to add.
Returns:
The node added.

clearRunAttrs

public void clearRunAttrs()
Reserved for internal use.

deepClone

→ inherited from Node
public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)
Creates a duplicate of the node.

This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The cloned node has no parent, but belongs to the same document as the original node.

This method always performs a deep copy of the node. The isCloneChildren parameter specifies whether to perform copy all child nodes as well.

Parameters:
isCloneChildren - True to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.
Returns:
The cloned node.

ensureMinimum

public void ensureMinimum()
If the last child is not a paragraph, creates and appends one empty paragraph.

fetchInheritedRunAttr

public java.lang.Object fetchInheritedRunAttr(int fontAttr)
Reserved for internal use.

getAncestor

→ inherited from Node
public CompositeNode getAncestor(int ancestorType)
Gets the first ancestor of the specified NodeType.
Parameters:
ancestorType - A NodeType value. The node type of the ancestor to retrieve.
Returns:
The ancestor of the specified type or null if no ancestor of this type was found.

getAncestor

→ inherited from Node
public CompositeNode getAncestor(java.lang.Class ancestorType)
Gets the first ancestor of the specified object type.

The ancestor type matches if it is equal to ancestorType or derived from ancestorType.

Parameters:
ancestorType - The object type of the ancestor to retrieve.
Returns:
The ancestor of the specified type or null if no ancestor of this type was found.

getChild

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public Node getChild(int nodeType, int index, boolean isDeep)
Returns an Nth child node that matches the specified type.

If index is out of range, a null is returned.

Note that markup nodes (NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG and NodeType.SMART_TAG) are traversed even when isDeep = false and GetChild is invoked for non-markup node type. For example if the first run in a para is wrapped in a StructuredDocumentTag, it will still be returned by GetChild(NodeType.Run, 0, false).
Parameters:
nodeType - A NodeType value. Specifies the type of the child node.
index - Zero based index of the child node to select. Negative indexes are also allowed and indicate access from the end, that is -1 means the last node.
isDeep - True to select from all child nodes recursively. False to select only among immediate children. See remarks for more info.
Returns:
The child node that matches the criteria or null if no matching node is found.

getChildNodes

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public NodeCollection getChildNodes(int nodeType, boolean isDeep)
Returns a live collection of child nodes that match the specified type.

The collection of nodes returned by this method is always live.

A live collection is always in sync with the document. For example, if you selected all sections in a document and enumerate through the collection deleting the sections, the section is removed from the collection immediately when it is removed from the document.

Parameters:
nodeType - A NodeType value. Specifies the type of nodes to select.
isDeep - True to select from all child nodes recursively. False to select only among immediate children.
Returns:
A live collection of child nodes of the specified type.
