## Description

AtkText should be implemented by AtkObjects on behalf of widgets that have text content which is either attributed or otherwise non-trivial. AtkObjects whose text content is simple, unattributed, and very brief may expose that content via atk_object_get_name instead; however if the text is editable, multi-line, typically longer than three or four words, attributed, selectable, or if the object already uses the 'name' ATK property for other information, the AtkText interface should be used to expose the text content. In the case of editable text content, AtkEditableText (a subtype of the AtkText interface) should be implemented instead.

AtkText provides not only traversal facilities and change notification for text content, but also caret tracking and glyph bounding box calculations. Note that the text strings are exposed as UTF-8, and are therefore potentially multi-byte, and caret-to-byte offset mapping makes no assumptions about the character length; also bounding box glyph-to-offset mapping may be complex for languages which use ligatures.

## Details

### struct AtkText

    struct AtkText;

The AtkText structure does not contain any fields.

### enum AtkTextBoundary

    typedef enum {
      ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_CHAR,
      ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_WORD_START,
      ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_WORD_END,
      ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_SENTENCE_START,
      ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_SENTENCE_END,
      ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_LINE_START,
      ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_LINE_END
    } AtkTextBoundary;

Text boundary types used for specifying boundaries for regions of text

### struct AtkAttribute

    struct AtkAttribute {

      gchar* name;
      gchar* value;
    };

A string name/value pair representing a text attribute.

gchar *`name`

  The attribute name. Call atk_text_attr_get_name()

gchar *`value`
