Formats the selected text.

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetDataTip(IVsTextLayer, TextSpan[], TextSpan[], String)

Displays a tip over a span of text when the mouse hovers over this location.

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetPairExtent(IVsTextLayer, TextAddress, TextSpan[])

This interface provides support for obtaining word extent, data tip, and pair extent information, all of which are used in support of IntelliSense and advanced editing features.

Notes to Implementers:

Implement this interface on the language service object to allow your language service to provide data tips, word extent, pair extent, and formatting.

Notes to Callers:

Obtain this interface by asking the language service for it through the QueryService method. For example:

    public IVsLanguageTextOps GetTextOps(Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IServiceProvider provider,
Guid languageServiceGuid)
    {
        IVsLanguageTextOps textOps = null;
        textOpts = provider.QueryService(languageServiceGuid,
                                         typeof(IVsLanguageTextOps).GUID)
                                as IVsLanguageTextOps;
        return textOpts;
    }
