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 normalize() 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:
o INDEX_SIZE_ERR
Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of
characters in data.
o NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Raised if this node is readonly.
