Properties
| Name | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
StructureTextState | StructureTextState | Read | Text-state applied to this element’s inline content (stored only — the structure builder doesn’t re-render through it). |
Attributes | StructureElementAttributes | Read | The structure attributes (/A) attached to this element, organised by owner. |
StructureType | string | Read | The PDF structure-type role (/S entry, e.g. |
ActualText | string | Read/Write | The replacement text for the marked content (/ActualText). |
AlternativeText | string | Read/Write | Alternate text used by assistive technology (/Alt). |
ExpansionText | string | Read/Write | Expansion text for an abbreviation (/E). |
Language | string | Read/Write | BCP-47 language code for the element’s content (/Lang). |
ID | string | Read | Element identifier (/ID); read-only — assigned at save. |
Title | string | Read/Write | Title of the structure element (/T). |
Page | Page? | Read | Page hosting this element’s content, or null when the element hasn’t been attached to a page yet. |
ParentElement | StructureElement? | Read | The parent structure element, or null when this element is detached or directly under the structure-tree root. |
ChildElements | ElementList | Read | Direct children of this element. |
Methods
| Signature | Description |
|---|---|
AppendChild(child: StructureElement) | Append child under this element’s /K array. |
SetTag(tag: string) | Remap this element’s role to a custom tag, registering tag → its standard type in the document role map. |
ToString() | Textual representation used when dumping the structure tree (role name; falls back to the type name). |
FindElements(recursive: bool) | Recursively find descendant elements of type T. |
SetText(text: string) | Set the element’s text content (stored as ActualText). |
SetId(id: string) | Set the element identifier (/ID). |
ClearId() | Remove the element identifier (/ID). |
AdjustPosition(settings: object) | Stub no-op kept for compat with the AdjustPosition authoring API — FOSS doesn’t render through PositionSettings yet. |
ChangeParentElement(newParent: StructureElement, validate: bool) | Move this element under newParent. |
RemoveAndMoveItsChildObjectsToItsParent(validate: bool) | Detach this element, then re-parent its children under this element’s former parent (taking this element’s slot). |
Detach() | Detach this element from its parent. |
