Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	removePseudoClass(java.lang.String pseudoClass, AuthorElement element) Removes a pseudo class from the given element.
void	setPseudoClass(java.lang.String pseudoClass, AuthorElement element) Sets a pseudo class in the specified element.

Method Detail

setPseudoClass

void setPseudoClass(java.lang.String pseudoClass,
                    AuthorElement element)

Sets a pseudo class in the specified element.

This change *IS NOT* subject to undo/redo.

What is good for: You can use a non standard (custom) pseudo class to impose a style change on a specific element. For instance you can have CSS styles matching a custom pseudo-class, like the one below:

   section:access-control-user {
      display:block;
   } 
   section {
      display:none;
   } 
 

By setting the pseudoClass "access-control-user", the element section will become visible.

Another example:

   *:caret-visited {
      color:red;
   } 
 

You could create an AuthorCaretListener that sets the caret-visited pseudo class to the element at the caret location. The effect will be that all the elements traversed by the caret become red.

Parameters:

pseudoClass - Name of the pseudo class being set.

element - The AuthorElement whose attribute is changing.
