    1.46 +	/** Gets the character formatting to apply to the inline text. 
    1.47 +	
    1.48 +	This function may be used to differentiate the formatting of the inline text 
    1.49 +	from the surrounding text. The first parameter should be set to contain the 
    1.50 +	character formatting values to use.
    1.51 +	
    1.52 +	MCoeFepAwareTextEditor provides a member function for finding out the character 
    1.53 +	formatting of the surrounding text - GetFormatForFep(). This can be called 
    1.54 +	inside the implementation of this function to make any necessary adjustments 
    1.55 +	to the format of the inline text to ensure that it is different from the surrounding 
    1.56 +	text.
    1.57 +	
    1.58 +	The second and third parameters enable different parts of the inline text 
    1.59 +	to have different formatting. 
    1.60 +	
    1.61 +	All implementations of this function need to set the aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat 
    1.62 +	parameter. If all of the inline text uses the same formatting then aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat 
    1.63 +	should be set to the length of the inline text and the aPositionOfCharacter 
    1.64 +	parameter can be ignored.
    1.65 +	
    1.66 +	When the inline text does not all use the same formatting, the second parameter 
    1.67 +	should be set to the number of characters starting at aPositionOfCharacter 
    1.68 +	which have the same formatting: see the following example.
    1.69 +	
    1.70 +	Example
    1.71 +	
    1.72 +	If the inline text is 7 characters long, the first 4 characters are in format 
    1.73 +	A, the next 2 characters are in format B, and the remaining character is in 
    1.74 +	format C.
    1.75 +	
    1.76 +	When the FEP framework (which knows that the inline text is 7 characters long) 
    1.77 +	needs to find out the format of the inline text, it calls GetFormatOfFepInlineText() 
    1.78 +	passing zero into aPositionOfCharacter (to signify the start of the inline 
    1.79 +	text). 
    1.80 +	
    1.81 +	As the first 4 characters are all in format A, the function should set aFormat 
    1.82 +	to A and it should set aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat to 4. As the FEP 
    1.83 +	framework has only been told the format of the first 4 characters, it calls 
    1.84 +	GetFormatOfFepInlineText() again passing 4 into aPositionOfCharacter. As the 
    1.85 +	2 characters starting at position 4 are all in format B, the function should 
    1.86 +	set aFormat to B and it should set aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat to 2. 
    1.87 +	The FEP framework still does not know the format of the 7th character so it 
    1.88 +	calls GetFormatOfFepInlineText() a third time passing 6 into aPositionOfCharacter. 
    1.89 +	As the character at position 6 is in format C, the function should set aFormat 
    1.90 +	to C and it should set aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat to 1. The FEP framework 
    1.91 +	now knows the format of all of the inline text.
    1.92 +	
    1.93 +	@param aFormat On return, contains the formatting to apply to the inline text 
    1.94 +	(or to a portion of it).
    1.95 +	@param aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat On return, contains the number of 
    1.96 +	characters in the inline text (starting at aPositionOfCharacter) which have 
    1.97 +	the same formatting.
    1.98 +	@param aPositionOfCharacter Start position within the inline text. */
