class PdfLiteralWhatsitNode

• supers: WhatsitNode

The higher the number, the less checking and the more you can run into trouble. Especially the raw variant can produce bad PDF so you can best check what you generate.

Example:

assert.node_type("whatsit", "pdf_literal", {
  id = "whatsit (8)",
  subtype = "pdf_literal (16)",
  fields = {
    "prev (-1)",
    "next (0)",
    "id (1)",
    "subtype (2)",
    "attr (3)",
    "mode (4)",
    "data (5)",
  },
})
