+/** This structure describes a text segment that is embedded in a larger
+    portion of text.  It is used for example by the
+    XAccessibleText interface to describe a text portion that
+    was inserted into or deleted from an accessible text.
+
+    <p>The indices TextSegment::SegmentStart and
+    TextSegment::SegmentEnd refer to the enclosing text.
+    The TextSegment::SegmentText member contains the text
+    between these two indices including the start index but not the end
+    index.  With it you can use this structure without having to
+    access the XAccessibleText interface that represents the
+    enclosing text.</p>
+
+    <p>An empty text segment is expressed by
+    TextSegment::SegmentStart and
+    TextSegment::SegmentEnd set to the same value.  While a
+    value of -1 signals an error (like the request for a word after the last
+    character of a text) all other values define the empty string at that
+    position.</p>
+
+    <p>The #SegmentText member is a copy of the
+    corresponding text segment of the enclosing text.  Modifying this
+    structure does not alter the enclosing text.</p>
