Text Attributes

<para>
Attributed text is used in a number of places in Pango. It
is used as the input to the itemization process and also when
creating a #PangoLayout. The data types and functions in
this section are used to represent and manipulate sets
of attributes applied to a portion of text.

<!-- ##### ENUM PangoAttrType ##### -->
<para>
distinguishes between different types of attributes. Along with the
predefined values, it is possible to allocate additional values
for custom attributes using pango_attr_type_register(). The predefined
values are given below. The type of structure used to store the
attribute is listed in parentheses after the description.

<!-- ##### MACRO PANGO_TYPE_ATTR_TYPE ##### -->
<para>
The GObject type for #PangoAttrType.
</para>



<!-- ##### STRUCT PangoAttrClass ##### -->
<para>
The #PangoAttrClass structure stores the type and operations for
a particular type of attribute. The functions in this structure should
not be called directly. Instead, one should use the wrapper functions

the range to which the value in the type-specific part of the attribute
applies. 
</para>

<!-- ##### STRUCT PangoAttrShape ##### -->
<para>
The #PangoAttrShape structure is used to represent attributes which 
impose shape restrictions.

<!-- ##### ENUM PangoUnderline ##### -->
<para>
the #PangoUnderline enumeration is used to specify
whether text should be underlined, and if so, the type
of underlining.
</para>

@PANGO_UNDERLINE_NONE: no underline should be drawn.
@PANGO_UNDERLINE_SINGLE: a single underline should be drawn.
@PANGO_UNDERLINE_DOUBLE: a double underline should be drawn.
@PANGO_UNDERLINE_LOW: a single underline should be drawn at a position
                      beneath the ink extents of the text being
                      underlined. This should be used only for underlining
                      single characters, such as for keyboard
                      accelerators. %PANGO_UNDERLINE_SINGLE should
                      be used for extended portions of text.
@PANGO_UNDERLINE_ERROR: a wavy underline should be drawn below.
                      This underline is typically used to indicate
                      an error such as a possilble mispelling; in some
                      cases an contrasting color may automatically
                      be used. This type of underlining is available
                      since Pango 1.4.

@Returns: 


<!-- ##### STRUCT PangoAttrList ##### -->
<para>
The #PangoAttrList structure represents a list of attributes
that apply to a section of text. The attributes are, in general,
allowed to overlap in an arbitrary fashion, however, if the
attributes are manipulated only through pango_attr_list_change(),
the overlap between properties will meet stricter criteria.
</para>
<para>
Since the #PangoAttrList structure is stored as a linear list,
it is not suitable for storing attributes for large amounts
of text. In general, you should not use a single #PangoAttrList
for more than one paragraph of text.

<para>

</para>

@Returns: 


<!-- ##### STRUCT PangoAttrIterator ##### -->
<para>
The #PangoAttrIterator structure is used to represent an
iterator through a #PangoList. A new iterator is created
with pango_attr_list_get_iterator(). Once the iterator
is created, it can be advanced through the style changes
in the text using pango_attr_iterator_next(). At each
style change, the range of the current style segment and the
attributes currently in effect can be queried.
