Direct Known Subclasses:
  CDATASectionImpl, DeferredTextImpl

public class TextImpl
extends CharacterDataImpl
implements CharacterData, Text

Text nodes hold the non-markup, non-Entity content of an Element or Attribute.

When a document is first made available to the DOM, there is only one Text object for each block of adjacent plain-text. Users (ie, applications) may create multiple adjacent Texts during editing -- see `Element#normalize` for discussion.

Note that CDATASection is a subclass of Text. This is conceptually valid, since they're really just two different ways of quoting characters when they're written out as part of an XML stream.

Constructor Detail

### TextImpl

    public TextImpl(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDoc,
                    java.lang.String data)

  Factory constructor.

Method Detail

### getNodeType

    public short getNodeType()

  A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.
  Overrides:
    getNodeType in class NodeImpl

### getNodeName

    public java.lang.String getNodeName()

  Returns the node name.
  Overrides:
    getNodeName in class NodeImpl

### setIgnorableWhitespace

    public void setIgnorableWhitespace(boolean ignore)

  NON-DOM: Set whether this Text is ignorable whitespace.

### isIgnorableWhitespace

    public boolean isIgnorableWhitespace()

  NON-DOM: Returns whether this Text is ignorable whitespace.

### splitText

    public Text splitText(int offset)
                   throws DOMException

  Break a text node into two sibling nodes. (Note that if the current node has no parent, they won't wind up as "siblings" -- they'll both be orphans.)
  Specified by:
    splitText in interface Text
  Parameters:
    `offset` - The offset at which to split. If offset is at the end of the available data, the second node will be empty.
  Throws:
    DOMException(INDEX_SIZE_ERR) - if offset is <0 or >length.
    DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if node is read-only.
