Field Detail

StartTagType

public static final short StartTagType

A possible value for getType. This specifies that this record type is a start tag and represents markup that specifies the start of an element.

JoinPreviousDirection

public static final short JoinPreviousDirection

A possible value for getDirection. This specifies that the data associated with this record should be joined to what precedes it.

See Also:: Constant Field Values

JoinNextDirection

public static final short JoinNextDirection

A possible value for getDirection. This specifies that the data associated with this record should be joined to what follows it.
