/*! @class TextEntity
 * @short Represents a piece of text on a TextPage, containing its textual representation and its bounding box.
 *
 * To enable searching and text selection, a generator can give information about the textual
 * content of a Page using a TextPage.
 * A TextPage is created using TextEntity objects.
 * A TextEntity can represent a single character/glyph, a word, a line, or even the whole page.
 *
 * Ideally, every single glyph is represented by its own TextEntity.
 * If the textual representation of a graphical glyph contains more than one character,
 * the TextEntity must contain the whole string which represents the glyph.
 *
 * When the Generator has created the TextPage, and it is added to a Page,
 * the text entities are reordered to words, lines, and paragraphs, to optimize search and text selection.
 * This way, the Generator does not need to care about the logical order of lines or paragraphs.
 *
 * @par Text Selection/Highlighting
 * A TextEntity is the smallest piece of text, which the user can select, or which can be highlighted.
 * That is, if the TextEntity represents a word, only the whole word can be selected.
 * It would not be possible to select a single glyph of the word, because its bounding box is not known.
 *
 * @see TextPage, Generator
