Overrides java.lang.Object.clone.

Doc from java.lang.Object.clone.

Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object x, the expression:

x.clone() != x

x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()

x.clone().equals(x)

By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling super.clone. If a class and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().

By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by super.clone before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by super.clone need to be modified.

Returns:Object

a clone of this instance.

@Override

Exceptions

CloneNotSupportedException:

if the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface. Subclasses that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned.

Parse a backslash-escaped special character, adding either the escaped character, a hard line break (if the backslash is followed by a newline), or a literal backslash to the block's children.

Returns:boolean

true

Attempt to parse backticks, adding either a backtick code span or a literal sequence of backticks.

Returns:boolean

true if matched backticks, false otherwise

If next character is [, and ! delimiter to delimiter stack and add a text node to block's children. Otherwise just add a text node.

Returns:boolean

true if processed characters false otherwise

Try to match close bracket against an opening in the delimiter stack. Add either a link or image, or a plain [ character, to block's children. If there is a matching delimiter, removeIndex it from the delimiter stack.

Also handles custom link ref processing

Returns:boolean

true

Attempt to parse delimiters like emphasis, strong emphasis or custom delimiters.

Parameters

delimiterProcessor:DelimiterProcessor

delimiter processor instance

delimiterChar:char

delimiter character being processed

Returns:boolean

true if processed characters false otherwise

Parse the next inline element in subject, advancing input index. On success, add the result to block's children and return true. On failure, return false.

Returns:boolean

false on failure true on success

Add open bracket to delimiter stack and add a text node to block's children.

Returns:boolean

true

Attempt to parse a reference definition, modifying the internal reference map.

Parameters

block:Block

the block whose text is being parsed for references

s:BasedSequence

sequence of the blocks characters

Returns:int

number of characters were parsed as a reference from the start of the sequence, 0 if none

Parse a run of ordinary characters, or a single character with a special meaning in markdown, as a plain string.

Returns:boolean

true if processed characters false otherwise

Scan a sequence of characters with code delimiterChar, and return information about the number of delimiters and whether they are positioned such that they can open and/or close emphasis or strong emphasis.

Parameters

delimiterProcessor:DelimiterProcessor

delimiter processor instance

delimiterChar:char

delimiter character being scanned

Returns:InlineParserImpl.DelimiterData

information about delimiter run, or null
