            System.Windows.ContentElement
                System.Windows.FrameworkContentElement

FrameworkContentElement is the base class of all types in WPF's text object model. Because this class does not derive from Visual, elements of this type do not generate their own appearance. Instead, a tree of content elements is merely a description of some textual content, and it requires some element derived from Visual to present the content. WPF provides four such elements. TextBlock presents simple textual content, whereas the three flow document readers—FlowDocumentScrollViewer, FlowDocumentPageViewer, and FlowDocumentReader—present larger bodies of text.

Chapter 14 describes the text object model and the visual elements that can present text.
