Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	validatePage(java.util.List<org.jdom2.Element> textElements) Validates a page.

Method Detail

validatePage

boolean validatePage(@NotNull
                     java.util.List<org.jdom2.Element> textElements)

Validates a page. Returns true to indicate we should keep this page, false to discard the page. This can also perform page-based operations. Note that this will be called in sequence for each page, so if some logic looks for a footer and header pair, it can store state across each call and know that page 1 will be called first, then page 2, etc... The one case to watch for is it won't be called for an empty page.

Parameters:

textElements - The text elements. Call Element.detach() to remove it from the page

Returns:

True to keep any elements on this page, false otherwise
