The Text interface represents a text node in a DOM tree.
To understand what a text node is, consider the following document:
<html class="e"><head><title>Aliens?</title></head>
<body>Why yes.
</body></html>
In that document, there are three text nodes, with the following contents:
- "
Aliens?" (the contents of the title element) - "
\n" (after the </head> end tag, a newline followed by a space) - "
Why yes.\n" (the contents of the body element)
Each of those text nodes is an object that has the properties and methods documented in this article.
