The normalizing process checks the parts of the TextFlow object that were modified and takes the following steps: <ol> <li> Deletes empty FlowLeafElement and SubParagraphGroupElement objects.</li> <li> Merges sibling spans that have identical attributes.</li> <li> Adds an empty paragraph if a flow is empty.</li> </ol> </p>  <p>To use a StandardFlowComposer, assign it to the <code>flowComposer</code> property of a TextFlow object. Call the <code>updateAllControllers()</code> method to lay out and display the text in the containers attached to the flow composer.</p>  <p><b>Note:</b> For simple, static text flows, you can also use the one of the text line factory classes. These factory classes will typically create lines with less overhead than a flow composer, but do not support editing, dynamic changes, or user interaction.</p>",
