- ## Method Details

  - ### getInstance

    public static final PlainTextFormatHandler getInstance()
    Returns the singleton instance of `PlainTextFormatHandler`.
    Returns:
      the singleton instance of `PlainTextFormatHandler`

  - ### createStyledInput

    public StyledInput createStyledInput(String text, StyleAttributeMap attr)
    Description copied from class: `DataFormatHandler`
    Creates a StyledInput for the given input string. When pasting, the caller may pass the style attributes `attr` at the insertion point. This argument may be used by the implementation if the format contains no styles on its own (for example, in the plain text format case).
    Specified by:
      `createStyledInput` in class `DataFormatHandler`
    Parameters:
      `text` - the input string
      `attr` - the style attributes (can be null)
    Returns:
      the StyledInput

  - ### copy

    public Object copy(StyledTextModel m, StyleResolver resolver, TextPos start, TextPos end) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `DataFormatHandler`
    Creates an object to be put into the Clipboard for the given text range. The caller must guarantee that the `start` precedes the `end` position.

    Typically, the implementation creates an instance of `StyledOutput` and calls `StyledTextModel.export(TextPos, TextPos, StyledOutput)` method.

    Specified by:
      `copy` in class `DataFormatHandler`
    Parameters:
      `m` - source model
      `resolver` - view-specific style resolver
      `start` - start text position
      `end` - end text position
    Returns:
      an object to be placed to the Clipboard
    Throws:
      `IOException` - when an I/O error occurs

  - ### save

    public void save(StyledTextModel m, StyleResolver resolver, TextPos start, TextPos end, OutputStream out) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `DataFormatHandler`
    Save the text range in the handler's format to the output stream (e.g. save to file). The caller must guarantee that the `start` precedes the `end` position. It is the responsibility of the caller to close the `OutputStream`.

    Typically, the implementation creates an instance of `StyledOutput` and calls `StyledTextModel.export(TextPos, TextPos, StyledOutput)` method.

    Specified by:
      `save` in class `DataFormatHandler`
    Parameters:
      `m` - source model
      `resolver` - view-specific style resolver
      `start` - start text position
      `end` - end text position
      `out` - target `OutputStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException` - when an I/O error occurs
