Interface OffsetInformation

public interface OffsetInformation

Information about the node which contains the offset. If the offset is on a marker character the returned result will also contain the node which contains the range indicated by the marker.

The author content contains the entire XML document text and special marker characters. Each author node points in the content to the start and end marker characters which are used to delimit it's range. The start and end offsets pointed to by the AuthorNode can be retrieved using the AuthorNode.getStartOffset() and AuthorNode.getEndOffset() The image represents part of the document content and red markers represent special control characters which represent the node ranges.
