Interface BlockParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBlockParser

public interface BlockParser

Parser for a specific block node.

Implementations should subclass AbstractBlockParser instead of implementing this directly.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	addLine(SourceLine line)
void	addSourceSpan(SourceSpan sourceSpan) Add a source span of the currently parsed block.
boolean	canContain(Block childBlock)
boolean	canHaveLazyContinuationLines() Return true if the block can have lazy continuation lines.
void	closeBlock()
Block	getBlock()
boolean	isContainer() Return true if the block that is parsed is a container (contains other blocks), or false if it's a leaf.
void	parseInlines(InlineParser inlineParser)
BlockContinue	tryContinue(ParserState parserState)

Method Detail

isContainer

boolean isContainer()

Return true if the block that is parsed is a container (contains other blocks), or false if it's a leaf.

canHaveLazyContinuationLines

boolean canHaveLazyContinuationLines()

Return true if the block can have lazy continuation lines.

Lazy continuation lines are lines that were rejected by this tryContinue(ParserState) but didn't match any other block parsers either.

If true is returned here, those lines will get added via addLine(SourceLine). For false, the block is closed instead.

canContain

boolean canContain(Block childBlock)

getBlock

Block getBlock()

tryContinue

BlockContinue tryContinue(ParserState parserState)

addLine

void addLine(SourceLine line)

addSourceSpan

void addSourceSpan(SourceSpan sourceSpan)

Add a source span of the currently parsed block. The default implementation in AbstractBlockParser adds it to the block. Unless you have some complicated parsing where you need to check source positions, you don't need to override this.

Since:

0.16.0

closeBlock

void closeBlock()

parseInlines

void parseInlines(InlineParser inlineParser)
