\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::wxRichTextBuffer}\label{wxrichtextbufferwxrichtextbuffer}

\func{}{wxRichTextBuffer}{\param{const wxRichTextBuffer\& }{obj}}

Copy constructor.

\func{}{wxRichTextBuffer}{\void}

Default constructors.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::\destruct{wxRichTextBuffer}}\label{wxrichtextbufferdtor}

\func{}{\destruct{wxRichTextBuffer}}{\void}

Destructor.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::AddHandler}\label{wxrichtextbufferaddhandler}

\func{void}{AddHandler}{\param{wxRichTextFileHandler* }{handler}}

Adds a file handler.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::AddParagraph}\label{wxrichtextbufferaddparagraph}

\func{wxRichTextRange}{AddParagraph}{\param{const wxString\& }{text}}

Adds a paragraph of text.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BatchingUndo}\label{wxrichtextbufferbatchingundo}

\constfunc{bool}{BatchingUndo}{\void}

Returns \true if the buffer is currently collapsing commands into a single notional command.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginAlignment}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginalignment}

\func{bool}{BeginAlignment}{\param{wxTextAttrAlignment }{alignment}}

Begins using alignment.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginBatchUndo}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginbatchundo}

\func{bool}{BeginBatchUndo}{\param{const wxString\& }{cmdName}}

Begins collapsing undo/redo commands. Note that this may not work properly
if combining commands that delete or insert content, changing ranges for
subsequent actions.

{\it cmdName} should be the name of the combined command that will appear
next to Undo and Redo in the edit menu.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginBold}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginbold}

\func{bool}{BeginBold}{\void}

Begin applying bold.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginCharacterStyle}\label{wxrichtextbufferbegincharacterstyle}

\func{bool}{BeginCharacterStyle}{\param{const wxString\& }{characterStyle}}

Begins applying the named character style.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginFont}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginfont}

\func{bool}{BeginFont}{\param{const wxFont\& }{font}}

Begins using this font.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginFontSize}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginfontsize}

\func{bool}{BeginFontSize}{\param{int }{pointSize}}

Begins using the given point size.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginItalic}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginitalic}

\func{bool}{BeginItalic}{\void}

Begins using italic.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginLeftIndent}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginleftindent}

\func{bool}{BeginLeftIndent}{\param{int }{leftIndent}, \param{int }{leftSubIndent = 0}}

Begin using {\it leftIndent} for the left indent, and optionally {\it leftSubIndent} for
the sub-indent. Both are expressed in tenths of a millimetre.

The sub-indent is an offset from the left of the paragraph, and is used for all but the
first line in a paragraph. A positive value will cause the first line to appear to the left
of the subsequent lines, and a negative value will cause the first line to be indented
relative to the subsequent lines.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginLineSpacing}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginlinespacing}

\func{bool}{BeginLineSpacing}{\param{int }{lineSpacing}}

Begins line spacing using the specified value. {\it spacing} is a multiple, where 10 means single-spacing,
15 means 1.5 spacing, and 20 means double spacing. The following constants are
defined for convenience:

{\small
\begin{verbatim}
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_LINE_SPACING_NORMAL         10
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_LINE_SPACING_HALF           15
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_LINE_SPACING_TWICE          20
\end{verbatim}
}

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginNumberedBullet}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginnumberedbullet}

\func{bool}{BeginNumberedBullet}{\param{int }{bulletNumber}, \param{int }{leftIndent}, \param{int }{leftSubIndent}, \param{int }{bulletStyle = wxTEXT\_ATTR\_BULLET\_STYLE\_ARABIC|wxTEXT\_ATTR\_BULLET\_STYLE\_PERIOD}}

Begins a numbered bullet. This call will be needed for each item in the list, and the
application should take care of incrementing the numbering.

{\it bulletNumber} is a number, usually starting with 1.

{\it leftIndent} and {\it leftSubIndent} are values in tenths of a millimetre.

{\it bulletStyle} is a bitlist of the following values:

{\small
\begin{verbatim}
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_NONE           0x0000
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ARABIC         0x0001
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_LETTERS_UPPER  0x0002
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_LETTERS_LOWER  0x0004
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ROMAN_UPPER    0x0008
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ROMAN_LOWER    0x0010
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_SYMBOL         0x0020
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_BITMAP         0x0040
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_PARENTHESES    0x0080
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_PERIOD         0x0100
\end{verbatim}
}

wxRichTextBuffer uses indentation to render a bulleted item. The left indent is the distance between
the margin and the bullet. The content of the paragraph, including the first line, starts
at leftMargin + leftSubIndent. So the distance between the left edge of the bullet and the
left of the actual paragraph is leftSubIndent.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginParagraphSpacing}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginparagraphspacing}

\func{bool}{BeginParagraphSpacing}{\param{int }{before}, \param{int }{after}}

Begins paragraph spacing; pass the before-paragraph and after-paragraph spacing in tenths of
a millimetre.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginParagraphStyle}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginparagraphstyle}

\func{bool}{BeginParagraphStyle}{\param{const wxString\& }{paragraphStyle}}

Begins applying the named paragraph style.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginRightIndent}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginrightindent}

\func{bool}{BeginRightIndent}{\param{int }{rightIndent}}

Begins a right indent, specified in tenths of a millimetre.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginStyle}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginstyle}

\func{bool}{BeginStyle}{\param{const wxTextAttrEx\& }{style}}

Begins using a specified style.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginSuppressUndo}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginsuppressundo}

\func{bool}{BeginSuppressUndo}{\void}

Begins suppressing undo/redo commands. The way undo is suppressed may be implemented
differently by each command. If not dealt with by a command implementation, then
it will be implemented automatically by not storing the command in the undo history
when the action is submitted to the command processor.

\membersection{wxRichTextBuffer::BeginSymbolBullet}\label{wxrichtextbufferbeginsymbolbullet}

\func{bool}{BeginSymbolBullet}{\param{wxChar }{symbol}, \param{int }{leftIndent}, \param{int }{leftSubIndent}, \param{int }{bulletStyle = wxTEXT\_ATTR\_BULLET\_STYLE\_SYMBOL}}

an explanation of how indentation is used to render the bulleted paragraph.
