The PySide.QtGui.QTextBlockUserData class is used to associate custom data with blocks of text.
PySide.QtGui.QTextBlockUserData provides an abstract interface for container classes that are used to associate application-specific user data with text blocks in a PySide.QtGui.QTextDocument .
Generally, subclasses of this class provide functions to allow data to be stored and retrieved, and instances are attached to blocks of text using QTextBlock.setUserData() . This makes it possible to store additional data per text block in a way that can be retrieved safely by the application.
Each subclass should provide a reimplementation of the destructor to ensure that any private data is automatically cleaned up when user data objects are deleted.
