Class MarkedObject

java.lang.Object
  com.itextpdf.text.MarkedObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

Element

Direct Known Subclasses:

MarkedSection

public class MarkedObject
extends Object
implements Element

Wrapper that allows to add properties to 'basic building block' objects. Before iText 1.5 every 'basic building block' implemented the MarkupAttributes interface. By setting attributes, you could add markup to the corresponding XML and/or HTML tag. This functionality was hardly used by anyone, so it was removed, and replaced by the MarkedObject functionality.
