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 org.w3c.dom.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.

INTERNAL:

Usage of this class is not supported. It may be altered or removed at any time.

Since: PR-DOM-Level-1-19980818.
