XMLTextMBS class

Super class: XMLCharacterDataMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
class XML MBS XML Plugin 22.4 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
The class for a piece of XML text.

The XMLTextMBS interface inherits from XMLCharacterDataMBS and represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of an XMLElementMBS or XMLAttributeMBS. If there is no markup inside an element's content, the text is contained in a single object implementing the XMLTextMBS interface that is the only child of the element. If there is markup, it is parsed into the information items (elements, comments, etc.) and XMLTextMBS nodes that form the list of children of the element.

When a document is first made available via the DOM, there is only one XMLTextMBS node for each block of text. Users may create adjacent XMLTextMBS 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 XMLNodeMBS merges any such adjacent XMLTextMBS objects into a single node for each block of text.
Subclass of the XMLCharacterDataMBS class.
This is an abstract class. You can't create an instance, but you can get one from various plugin functions.

DocumentPositionDisconnected 1 The two nodes are disconnected. Order between disconnected nodes is always implementation-specific.
DocumentPositionFollowing 4 The node follows the reference node.
DocumentPositionImplementationSpecific 32 The determination of preceding versus following is implementation-specific.
DocumentPositionPreceding 2 The second node precedes the reference node.
