Report contents. Contents are abstract views of the data that should be printed in the OutputTarget. There are 3 known types of content yet: Text, Shapes and Images. The abstract view allows the logical page to format the content without knowing any details about the content itself.

Content may be split into several parts, so that portions of content for specific bounds can be extracted.

To create contents, an LayoutSupport defines a ContentFactory. This factory is resopnsible to create the content from the Element's value, if the OutputTarget does support the elements content type.
