public class RtfDocumentFormat
extends TextualDocumentFormat

The format of Documents. Subclasses of DocumentFormat know about particular MIME types and how to unpack the information in any markup or formatting they contain into GATE annotations. Each MIME type has its own subclass of DocumentFormat, e.g. XmlDocumentFormat, RtfDocumentFormat, MpegDocumentFormat. These classes register themselves with a static index residing here when they are constructed. Static getDocumentFormat methods can then be used to get the appropriate format class for a particular document.

unpackMarkup

public void unpackMarkup(Document doc)
                  throws DocumentFormatException
Unpack the markup in the document. This converts markup from the native format (e.g.RTF) into annotations in GATE format. Uses the markupElementsMap to determine which elements to convert, and what annotation type names to use. It always tryes to parse te doc's content. It doesn't matter if the sourceUrl is null or not.

Overrides:
unpackMarkup in class TextualDocumentFormat
DocumentFormatException

init

public Resource init()
              throws ResourceInstantiationException
Initialise this resource, and return it.
