Starting from GRAMPS 3.1 Note object stores the text in :class:`gen.lib.styledtext.StyledText`
instance, thus it can have text formatting information.
To get and set only the clear text of the note use the
:meth:`~gen.lib.note.Note.get` and :meth:`~gen.lib.note.Note.set` methods.
To get and set the formatted version of the Note's text use the
:meth:`~gen.lib.note.Note.get_styledtext` and
:meth:`~gen.lib.note.Note.set_styledtext` methods.
The note may be 'preformatted' or 'flowed', which indicates that the
text string is considered to be in paragraphs, separated by newlines.
:cvar FLOWED: indicates flowed format
:cvar FORMATTED: indicates formatted format (respecting whitespace needed)
:cvar POS_<x>: (int) Position of <x> attribute in the serialized format of
an instance.
:attention: The POS_<x> class variables reflect the serialized object, they
have to be updated in case the data structure or the
:meth:`~gen.lib.note.Note.serialize` method changes!

Convert the data held in this object to a structure (eg,
struct) that represents all the data elements.
This method is used to recursively convert the object into a
self-documenting form that can easily be used for various
purposes, including diffs and queries.
These structures may be primitive Python types (string,
integer, boolean, etc.) or complex Python types (lists,
tuples, or dicts). If the return type is a dict, then the keys
of the dict match the fieldname of the object. If the return
struct (or value of a dict key) is a list, then it is a list
of structs. Otherwise, the struct is just the value of the
attribute.
