Class RtfField

public abstract class RtfField extends Chunk implements RtfBasicElement

The RtfField class is an abstract base class for all rtf field functionality. Subclasses only need to implement the two abstract methods writeFieldInstContent and writeFieldResultContent. All other field functionality is handled by the RtfField class.
