  Gtk2::Buildable

yep, it's also Gtk2::Buildable, which means it can be built up from builder files. main character energy fr fr. 💅

✨ METHODS

💖 texttagtable = Gtk2::TextTagTable->new

makes you a brand new Gtk2::TextTagTable. fresh table, no tags, no drama, blank canvas, we love to see it. 🦋

🌸 $table->add ($tag)

drops a tag into the table. the deets:

• $tag is a Gtk2::TextTag 🏷️

🫶 $table->foreach ($callback, $callback_data=undef)

runs your $callback over the tags. and yes, you can pass extra stuff along for the ride:

• $callback — a scalar (yes, your callback comes in as a scalar, that's just how it is bestie)
• $callback_data — a scalar, and it defaults to undef if you don't hand it anything 🎁

🔍 texttag = $table->lookup ($name)

finds you a tag by name. you give it a string, it gives you back the texttag:

• $name is a string

💅 $table->remove ($tag)

yeets a tag out of the table. bye boo 👋

• $tag is a Gtk2::TextTag

⭐ integer = $table->get_size

gives you an integer — the number of tags chillin' in the table. no cap. 📏

🔥 SIGNALS

these are the little notifications the table sends out into the world:

• tag-added (Gtk2::TextTagTable, Gtk2::TextTag) — a tag just showed up 🎉
• tag-changed (Gtk2::TextTagTable, Gtk2::TextTag, boolean) — a tag changed, and there's a boolean riding along with the news 📣
• tag-removed (Gtk2::TextTagTable, Gtk2::TextTag) — a tag left the chat 💀
