+	/** Gets the character formatting to apply to the inline text. 
+	
+	This function may be used to differentiate the formatting of the inline text 
+	from the surrounding text. The first parameter should be set to contain the 
+	character formatting values to use.
+	
+	MCoeFepAwareTextEditor provides a member function for finding out the character 
+	formatting of the surrounding text - GetFormatForFep(). This can be called 
+	inside the implementation of this function to make any necessary adjustments 
+	to the format of the inline text to ensure that it is different from the surrounding 
+	text.
+	
+	The second and third parameters enable different parts of the inline text 
+	to have different formatting. 
+	
+	All implementations of this function need to set the aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat 
+	parameter. If all of the inline text uses the same formatting then aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat 
+	should be set to the length of the inline text and the aPositionOfCharacter 
+	parameter can be ignored.
+	
+	When the inline text does not all use the same formatting, the second parameter 
+	should be set to the number of characters starting at aPositionOfCharacter 
+	which have the same formatting: see the following example.
+	
+	Example
+	
+	If the inline text is 7 characters long, the first 4 characters are in format 
+	A, the next 2 characters are in format B, and the remaining character is in 
+	format C.
+	
+	When the FEP framework (which knows that the inline text is 7 characters long) 
+	needs to find out the format of the inline text, it calls GetFormatOfFepInlineText() 
+	passing zero into aPositionOfCharacter (to signify the start of the inline 
+	text). 
+	
+	As the first 4 characters are all in format A, the function should set aFormat 
+	to A and it should set aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat to 4. As the FEP 
+	framework has only been told the format of the first 4 characters, it calls 
+	GetFormatOfFepInlineText() again passing 4 into aPositionOfCharacter. As the 
+	2 characters starting at position 4 are all in format B, the function should 
+	set aFormat to B and it should set aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat to 2. 
+	The FEP framework still does not know the format of the 7th character so it 
+	calls GetFormatOfFepInlineText() a third time passing 6 into aPositionOfCharacter. 
+	As the character at position 6 is in format C, the function should set aFormat 
+	to C and it should set aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat to 1. The FEP framework 
+	now knows the format of all of the inline text.
+	
+	@param aFormat On return, contains the formatting to apply to the inline text 
+	(or to a portion of it).
+	@param aNumberOfCharactersWithSameFormat On return, contains the number of 
+	characters in the inline text (starting at aPositionOfCharacter) which have 
+	the same formatting.
+	@param aPositionOfCharacter Start position within the inline text. */
