```
    Sets the default value-of action which is used in the default rules for the pattern "text()|@"
    
    Parameters:
    
    valueOfAction - DOCUMENT ME!
  - createMode
```
protected Mode createMode()
```
    A factory method to return a new Modeinstance which should add the necessary default rules

    mode - DOCUMENT ME!
  - addDefaultRule
```
protected void addDefaultRule(Mode mode,
                              Pattern pattern,
