Interface for a delimiter processor
| Methods |
| public abstract getClosingCharacter() : string Returns the character that marks the ending of a delimited node. This must not clash with any other processors being added to the environment. Note that for a symmetric delimiter such as "*", this is the same as the opening. |
| public abstract getDelimiterUse(League Determine how many (if any) of the delimiter characters should be used. This allows implementations to decide how many characters to be used based on the properties of the delimiter runs. An implementation can also return 0 when it doesn't want to allow this particular combination of delimiter runs. IMPORTANT: Unless this method returns the same hard-coded value in all cases, you MUST implement the CacheableDelimiterProcessorInterface interface instead.
|
| public abstract getMinLength() : int Minimum number of delimiter characters that are needed to active this. Must be at least 1. |
| public abstract getOpeningCharacter() : string Returns the character that marks the beginning of a delimited node. This must not clash with any other processors being added to the environment. |
| public abstract process(League Process the matched delimiters, e.g. by wrapping the nodes between opener and closer in a new node, or appending a new node after the opener. Note that removal of the delimiter from the delimiter nodes and detaching them is done by the caller.
