A possible value for getType. This specifies that this record type is a end tag and represents markup that specifies the end of an element.

ContentType

public static final short ContentType

A possible value for getType. This specifies that this record type represents content.

JoinPreviousDirection

public static final short JoinPreviousDirection

A possible value for getDirection. This specifies that the data associated with this record should be joined to what precedes it.

JoinNextDirection

public static final short JoinNextDirection

A possible value for getDirection. This specifies that the data associated with this record should be joined to what follows it.

OriginateDirection

public static final short OriginateDirection

A possible value for getDirection. This specifies that the data associated with this record should be used to originate a new element. This would be the normal value.

JoinFractureDirection
