NAME
XML::DOM::Text - A piece of XML text in XML::DOM
DESCRIPTION
XML::DOM::Text extends XML::DOM::CharacterData, which extends XML::DOM::Node.
The Text interface represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of
an Element or Attr. If there is no markup inside an element’s content, the text is
contained in a single object implementing the Text interface that is the only child
of the element. If there is markup, it is parsed into a list of elements and Text
nodes that form the list of children of the element.
When a document is first made available via the DOM, there is only one Text node
for each block of text. Users may create adjacent Text nodes that represent the
contents of a given element without any intervening markup, but should be aware
that there is no way to represent the separations between these nodes in XML or
HTML, so they will not (in general) persist between DOM editing sessions. The nor-
malize() method on Element merges any such adjacent Text objects into a single node
for each block of text; this is recommended before employing operations that depend
on a particular document structure, such as navigation with XPointers.
METHODS
splitText (offset)
Breaks this Text node into two Text nodes at the specified offset, keeping both
in the tree as siblings. This node then only contains all the content up to the
offset point. And a new Text node, which is inserted as the next sibling of
this node, contains all the content at and after the offset point.
Parameters:
offset The offset at which to split, starting from 0.
Return Value: The new Text node.
DOMExceptions:
* INDEX_SIZE_ERR
Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of
characters in data.
* NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Raised if this node is readonly.
