- ## Constructor Details

  - ### BlockElement

    public BlockElement(Element parent, AttributeSet a)
    Constructs a composite element that initially contains no children.
    Parameters:
      `parent` - the parent element
      `a` - the attributes for the element
    Since:
      1.4

- ## Method Details

  - ### getName

    public String getName()
    Gets the name of the element.
    Specified by:
      `getName` in interface `Element`
    Overrides:
      `getName` in class `AbstractDocument.BranchElement`
    Returns:
      the name, null if none

  - ### getResolveParent

    public AttributeSet getResolveParent()

    Overrides:
      `getResolveParent` in class `AbstractDocument.AbstractElement`
    Returns:
