```
boolean writeAnnotation(Object target,

    Parameters:
    
    target - A target pointer to the annotation target object, i.e. org.w3c.dom.Document, org.w3c.dom.Element , org.xml.sax.ContentHandler.
    
    targetType - A target type.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the target is a recognized type and supported by this implementation, otherwise false.
  - getAnnotationString
```
String getAnnotationString()
```
    A text representation of the annotation.
