Detailed Description

A filter processes blocks of text looking for certain patterns (such as URLs or keywords from a list) and marks the areas which match the filter's patterns as 'hotspots'.

Each hotspot has a type identifier associated with it ( such as a link or a highlighted section ), and an action. When the user performs some activity such as a mouse-click in a hotspot area ( the exact action will depend on what is displaying the block of text which the filter is processing ), the hotspot's activate() method should be called. Depending on the type of hotspot this will trigger a suitable response.

For example, if a hotspot represents a URL then a suitable action would be opening that URL in a web browser. Hotspots may have more than one action, in which case the list of actions can be obtained using the actions() method.

Different subclasses of filter will return different types of hotspot. Subclasses must reimplement the process() method to examine a block of text and identify sections of interest. When processing the text they should create instances of Filter::HotSpot subclasses for sections of interest and add them to the filter's list of hotspots using addHotSpot()
