<title>Selecting text</title>
<para>
This mode is useful when selecting text on page. It behaves like expected from
text selecting. Word and line order is respected on pages with
horizontal text lines (most of pdf files).
</para>
<para>
Text selection is very simple using this mode. The selection starts when
mouse left button is pressed on a text element. (If the mouse is over a text element
the cursor changes to ibeam.) When dragging, text is
selected line by line. The selection is limited in how the text elements are stored in
the pdf document (some documents have text elements equal to letters, to words,
to lines or arbitrary).
</para>
<para>
Note:
When a text on one line is written using different fonts it is very likely that it will
be parsed into more lines. This is due to the fact that the base vertical positions are different
and without wild guessing it is almost impossible to distinguish between text on one with different
fonts and text on more lines with different fonts.
