Detailed Description

Mode information interface for the Document.

Introduction

The ModeInterface provides access to the modes of a document

Accessing the ModeInterface

The ModeInterface is supposed to be an extension interface for a Document, i.e. the Document inherits the interface provided that the used KTextEditor library implements the interface. Use qobject_cast to access the interface:

// doc is of type KTextEditor::Document*
KTextEditor::ModeInterface *iface =
    qobject_cast<KTextEditor::ModeInterface*>( doc );

if( iface ) {
    // the implementation supports the interface
    // do stuff
}

virtual QStringList KTextEditor::ModeInterface::allPossibleModes ( ) const

pure virtual

Get all available file modes for the current document.

Returns

Returns a list of all possible modes within a document.

KTextEditor::Document::mode()

virtual QString KTextEditor::ModeInterface::modeAt ( const Cursor &  position )

pure virtual

Get the possible modes for a given position.

The mode of a certain position might be ambiguos. eg. mode C++ could stand for the source or the header file. In most cases this mode will be equal to the highlighting name but it does not have to be. Modes should not be mixed with HighlightingModes. For instance for the toplevel in a document this might defer. For sub modes it might in the future

TODO: I intended to make this const but Kate's implementation needs to call kateTextline which is non-const. Solution?
