arguments for the generator function. |
Formally this function is a function generator, i.e., it returns a function (which reads in a text document) with a well-defined signature, but can access passed over arguments via lexical scoping. This is especially useful for reader functions for complex data structures which need a lot of configuration options.
A function
with the signature elem, language, load, id
:
elem |
A list with the two named elements content
and uri . The first element must hold the document corpus to
be read in, the second element must hold a call to the document
corpus. The call is evaluated upon a request for load on demand. |
language |
A character giving the text's language. |
load |
A logical value indicating whether the document
corpus should be immediately loaded into memory. |
id |
A character representing a unique identification
string for the returned text document. |
The function returns a PlainTextDocument
representing
content
.
