public abstract class Element
extends Object

Base class for MessageML elements. Contains methods for constructing MessageML document trees and their PresentationML and Markdown representation, overridden in subclasses if special treatment is required. By default all elements support the "class" attribute and translate to PresentationML as container elements including their children. To override this behaviour (e.g. to make the element empty), overload the respective methods in subclasses of this class. The intended use of this class is primarily internal. The main entry point are parse() methods in MessageMLContext.
