## Interface Parser

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    `AbstractParser`, `TaskTagParser`, `XmlParser`

      public interface Parser

  An interface for a parser for content in an `RSyntaxTextArea`. A `Parser` returns a list of issues it finds in the text area's content, which the text area can flag (e.g. squiggle underline). It can also return descriptions of the issues, to be used in tool tips.

  To install a `Parser`, simply call `RSyntaxTextArea.addParser(Parser)`.

    - #### getImageBase

          URL getImageBase()

      Returns the base URL for any images displayed in returned `ParserNotice` HTML text. Note that if a parser notice's text is not HTML, this URL is not used.

      Parses input from the specified document.
