Class RtfAddableElement

public abstract class RtfAddableElement extends Chunk implements RtfBasicElement

The RtfAddableElement is the superclass for all rtf specific elements that need to be added to an iText document. It is an extension of Chunk and it also implements RtfBasicElement. It is an abstract class thus it cannot be instantiated itself and has to be subclassed to be used.
