          void start(String originalText,
                     TokenStream tokenStream)

      Initializes the Fragmenter. You can grab references to the Attributes you are interested in from tokenStream and then access the values in `isNewFragment()`.
      Parameters:
        `originalText` - the original source text
        `tokenStream` - the `TokenStream` to be fragmented

    - #### isNewFragment
