Support for rich text, introduced in BWmeta 2.0.0 calls for changes in the "Y" model.

Adding YRichText class

YRichText is mutable.

Constructors

• YRichText(String) – constructor from plain text. Uses set text method.
• YRichText(List<YRichText.Part>) – constructor from list of trees.

Methods

• String toText() – returns a flattened text view of the rich text. It's a concatenation of text contents of the tree list visited in the infix order, or a simple text line if YRichText conteins only this simple line
• setText(String text) - parses given text - first it tries to parse it as Xml and if text contains more then one node it stored as a tree, otherwise it is stored as this simple string.
• List<YRichText.Part> toParts() – returns a list of trees which represent the rich text. It could return null - this means that this RichText contains only one string comtent which could be obtained via toText() method
• String toXmlFragment() – serializes a rich text to an XML fragment. It returns null if YrichText contains only single text.
• setParts(Collection<Part> parts) - sets this text from tree of parts. Remeber that getParts(setParts()) its not identity.

Illegal method:

• buildFrom(org.jdom.Element element) - builds this element from content of jdom elements. It's illegal and mpol don't like this type of interface.

Changes in classes with a YRichText property

YRichText-related methods (other than the ones below) which have been already added should be @Deprecated and subsequently removed. When is said below about setting plain text - it means that method takes string and reparses it the way YRochText works in setText(String).

YName, YDescription

• Every constructor from String text has a corresponding constructor from YRichText text.
• String getText() – returns flattened plain text.
• YRichText getRichText() – returns rich text.
• T setText(String) – sets plain text.
• T setRichText(YRichText) – sets rich text.

YAttribute

• Every constructor from String value has a corresponding constructor from YRichText value.
• String getValue() – returns flattened plain text.
• YRichText getRichValue() – returns rich text.
• YAttribute setValue(String) – sets plain text.
• YAttribute setRichValue(YRichText) – sets rich text.

YTagList

• List<String> getValues() – returns unmodifiable, flattened text view of the list of tags.
• List<YRichText> getRichValues() – returns modifiable list of rich text tags.
• YTagList setValues(Collection<String>) – sets plain text values.
• YTagList setRichValues(Collection<YRichText>) – sets rich text values.
• YTagList addValue(String) – adds a plain text value.
• YTagList addRichValue(YRichText) – adds a rich text value.

Contracts

• For any String text != null</code the following assert should pass:

yFoo.setText(text);
// ... potential serialization and deserialization ...
// ... conversion to "DL" model and back ...
// ... or all of the above in any order ...
assertEquals(text, yFoo.getText());

• For any <code>String text != null the following assert should pass:

yFoo.setText(text);
// ... conversion to "DL" model ...
assertEquals(text, dFoo.getText());

• Example:

yName.setText("<b xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">1 &lt; 2</b>");
// ... conversion Y -> DL ...
assertEquals("<b xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">1 &lt; 2</b>", dName.getText());
// ... conversion DL -> Y ...
assertEquals("<b xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">1 &lt; 2</b>", yName.getText());

• For any XML fragment foo if BWmeta 2.0.0 contains <name>foo</name> then:

assertEquals("foo", yName.getXml());

• There would be no conversions from YRichText to DL and back, therefore we don;t expect identity during conversions.

• This constraints means that from:

yName.setText("1 < 2")

we get:

yName.getText().equals("1 < 2")
