Method Detail

buildCharNode

CharNode buildCharNode(UnicodeChar uc,
                       TypesettingContext tc,
                       NodeFactory factory,
                       TypesettingContextFactory tcFactory)

Create a node for a Unicode character. Note that the result can either be a simple CharNode or a VirtualCharNode. In the latter case a composition of several components can be contained.

Parameters:

uc - the Unicode character

tc - the default typesetting context to use

factory - the factory to acquire new nodes from

tcFactory - the factor for new typesetting contexts

Returns:

the node for the character or null if none can be determined
