public interface ModelBuilder
extends StatefullComponent
The model builder is the second stage in the layout process.
The builder receives events from the Normalizer and builds a normalized
displayable logical model. Although still working on a logical document model,
this model is already bound to the constraints of the underlying renderer.
Each generated element has information on which logical page it will be
rendered (by looking at the page style name); depending on the output target,
it might even know the physical page already (including the page number).
(The PageInformation is initiated by the Normalizer.)
The ModelBuilder is responsible to manage the moved content.
