=head1 NAME

XML::DOM::Text - A piece of XML text in XML::DOM

=head1 DESCRIPTION

XML::DOM::Text extends L<XML::DOM::CharacterData>, which extends

L<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.

=head2 METHODS

=over 4

=item 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:

 I<offset>  The offset at which to split, starting from 0.

Return Value: The new Text node.

DOMExceptions:

=over 4

=item * INDEX_SIZE_ERR

Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of 

characters in data.

=item * NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR

Raised if this node is readonly.
