public class PureEditor

Object
PureEditor

Known subtypesCodePureEditor, RichPureEditor

The pure Codename One editor backend. It owns an EditorView and translates the semantic command / query vocabulary spoken by RichTextArea and CodeEditor (the same strings the BrowserComponent backend understands) into operations on the pure text engine.

This base class handles the shared, plain text portion of the vocabulary. The rich text and code feature layers subclass it (and subclass EditorView) to add styling, syntax highlighting, the gutter, completion and diagnostics.
