      public class StyledEditorKit

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### StyledEditorKit

          public StyledEditorKit()

      Creates a new EditorKit used for styled documents.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInputAttributes

          public MutableAttributeSet getInputAttributes()

      Gets the input attributes for the pane. When the caret moves and there is no selection, the input attributes are automatically mutated to reflect the character attributes of the current caret location. The styled editing actions use the input attributes to carry out their actions.
      Returns:
        the attribute set

    - #### getCharacterAttributeRun

          public Element getCharacterAttributeRun()

      Fetches the element representing the current run of character attributes for the caret.
      Returns:
        the element

    - #### getActions

          public Action[] getActions()

      Fetches the command list for the editor. This is the list of commands supported by the superclass augmented by the collection of commands defined locally for style operations.
      Overrides:
        `getActions` in class `DefaultEditorKit`
      Returns:
        the command list

    - #### createDefaultDocument

          public Document createDefaultDocument()

      Creates an uninitialized text storage model that is appropriate for this type of editor.
      Overrides:
        `createDefaultDocument` in class `DefaultEditorKit`
      Returns:
        the model

    - #### install

          public void install(JEditorPane c)

      Called when the kit is being installed into a JEditorPane.
      Overrides:
        `install` in class `EditorKit`
      Parameters:
        `c` - the JEditorPane

    - #### deinstall

          public void deinstall(JEditorPane c)

      Called when the kit is being removed from the JEditorPane. This is used to unregister any listeners that were attached.
      Overrides:
        `deinstall` in class `EditorKit`
      Parameters:
        `c` - the JEditorPane

    - #### getViewFactory

          public ViewFactory getViewFactory()

      Fetches a factory that is suitable for producing views of any models that are produced by this kit. This is implemented to return View implementations for the following kinds of elements:
      - AbstractDocument.ContentElementName
      - AbstractDocument.ParagraphElementName
      - AbstractDocument.SectionElementName
      - StyleConstants.ComponentElementName
      - StyleConstants.IconElementName
      Overrides:
        `getViewFactory` in class `DefaultEditorKit`
      Returns:
        the factory

    - #### clone

          public Object clone()

      Creates a copy of the editor kit.
      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `EditorKit`
      Returns:
        the copy
      See Also:
        `Cloneable`

    - #### createInputAttributes

          protected void createInputAttributes(Element element,
                                               MutableAttributeSet set)

      Copies the key/values in `element`s AttributeSet into `set`. This does not copy component, icon, or element names attributes. Subclasses may wish to refine what is and what isn't copied here. But be sure to first remove all the attributes that are in `set`.

      This is called anytime the caret moves over a different location.
