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.
splitText(int)
Text node into two Text nodes at the specified
offset, keeping both in the tree as siblings.
splitText
public abstract Text splitText(int offset) throws DOMException
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.
