(static) createEmptySelectionInNode(node, pos) → {sync.api.Selection}

Returns an object that represents a selection that is empty and is located inside the given node, at a position specified by the second parameter.
Parameters:
Name Type Description

Type
sync.api.Selection

(static) createEmptySelectionRelativeToNode(node, offset, opt_fromNodeEndTagopt)

Creates an empty selection at a position that is "offset" steps to the right of the start/end tag of the given "node". A step means either a content character, a start tag of a node or an end tag of a node. For example, with this XML content: <p>I <b>like</b> XML.</p> The following call: sync.api.Selection.createEmptySelectionRelativeToNode(p, 5, true) Creates a position in the word "like" as presented below: <p>I <b>li|ke</b> XML.</p>
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
node sync.api.dom.Node The XML node used as a reference for the selection position.
offset number The number of steps to the right of the start/end tag of the reference node.
opt_fromNodeEndTag boolean <optional>
 true, to create the selection relative to the end tag of the given node rather than to its start.
Source:

extendTo(node, offset, opt_fromNodeEndTagopt)

Extends the selection to the position that is "offset" steps to the right of the start/end tag of the given "node". A step means either a content character, a start tag of a node or an end tag of a node. For example, with this XML content, and the selection represented as a vertical line: <p>I <b>|like</b> XML.</p> The following call: sel.extendTo(p, 7, true) extends the selection to select the word "like" as presented below: <p>I <b>|like|</b> XML.</p>
Parameters:

Returns:
The node at caret if the selection is empty.
Type
sync.api.dom.Node

getNodeAtSelection() → {sync.api.dom.Node}

Returns the node at the current selection.
