Interface PreviewHandler

A PreviewHandler manages the integration of one or more previews.

It indicates whether a preview shall be rendered for a given resource URI and, if yes, renders the content. Additionally it optionally provides methods with which the scroll state of the preview and corresponding editor can be managed.

See MarkdownPreviewHandler for an example implementation.
