public interface Listener
extends LinkListener, ImageListener
```
Contains callback events called when a document has been parsed and when it needs to be modified or rendered. More specifically when a document is parsed it generates an XDOM object. That object has a AbstractBlock.traverse(Listener) method that accepts a Listener object. For each Block element found in the document its Block.traverse(org.xwiki.rendering.listener.Listener) method is called leading to the generation of events from this interface.
Here's an example of usage:
```
 <code>
   XDOM dom = parser.parse(source);
   MyListener listener = new MyListener(...);
   dom.traverse(listener);
   // At this stage all events have been sent to MyListener.
 </code>

```
void onEmptyLines(@Default("1")
                  int count)
```
    Represents an empty line between 2 standalone Blocks. A standalone block is block that is not included in another block. Standalone blocks are Paragraph, Standalone Macro, Lists, Table, etc.
    
    Parameters:
    
    count - the number of empty lines between 2 standalone Blocks
  - onVerbatim
```
void onVerbatim(@Name("content")
                String content,
                boolean inline,
                @Default("")
                Map<String,String> parameters)
```
    A portion of text.
    
    Parameters:
    
    content - the string to protected from rendering
    
    inline - if true the text content is located in a inline content (like paragraph, etc.)
    
    parameters - a generic list of parameters. Example: style="background-color: blue"
  - onRawText
```
void onRawText(@Name("content")
               String content,
               Syntax syntax)
```
    Some text to inject directly into the listener output without parsing it. For example a HTML macro could inject directly some HTML entered by the user into the rendered HTML output. Note that it's not recommended to use this event in most cases since it can lead to invalid content being generated and in addition most listener implementations will not understand the injected text and will just ignore it.
    
    Parameters:
    
    content - the text to inject
    
    syntax - the syntax in which the text is written. This is useful so that listener implementations can decide whether they can handle direct inject for that syntax
