ObjectXmlText

An XmlText object represents the text content of an element or attribute

The XmlText node represents a sequence of plain text in an XML document. Because plain text appears in XML elements and attributes, the XmlText node is usuallyXmlElementnode sumXmlAttrThe node's children appear.

XmlText nodes inheritXmlCharacterDatainterface, viaXmlCharacterDatadata attribute inherited from the interface or fromXmlNodeThe nadevalue attribute inherited by the interface can access the text content of the XmlText node.

use fromXmlCharacterDataInherited methods or the splitText() method defined by the XmlText interface itself can operate XmlText nodes. useXmlDocumentcreateTextNode to create a new XmlText node.

The XmlText node has no child nodes.

For methods of deleting empty XmlText nodes and merging adjacent XmlText nodes from a subtree of a document, seeXmlNode.normalizemethod.

member function

splitText

Split the text node into two nodes according to the specified offset

1
XmlText XmlText.splitText(Integer offset);

Call parameters:

• offset: Integer, specifies where to split text nodes. The starting value starts with 0

Return results:

• XmlText, Text node split from the current node

This method will split the XmlText node into two nodes at the specified offset. The original XmlText node will be modified so that it contains the text content before (but not including) the text content at the position specified by offset. A new XmlText node will be created to store all characters from the offset position (including the characters at this position) to the end of the original character. The new XmlText node is the return value of this method. Additionally, if the original XmlText node has a parentNode, the new XmlText node will be inserted into this parent node, immediately after the original node.

XmlCDATASectionThe interface inherits the XmlText interface,XmlCDATASectionNodes can also use this method, but the newly created nodes areXmlCDATASectionnode instead of an XmlText node.
