### Attributes

raw | [RW] | If `raw` is true, then REXML leaves the value alone

### Public Class methods

new(arg, respect_whitespace=false, parent=nil, raw=nil, entity_filter=nil, illegal=ILLEGAL )

Constructor `arg` if a String, the content is set to the String. If a Text, the object is shallowly cloned.

`respect_whitespace` (boolean, false) if true, whitespace is respected

`parent` (nil) if this is a Parent object, the parent will be set to this.

`raw` (nil) This argument can be given three values. If true, then the value of used to construct this object is expected to contain no unescaped XML markup, and REXML will not change the text. If this value is false, the string may contain any characters, and REXML will escape any and all defined entities whose values are contained in the text. If this value is nil (the default), then the raw value of the parent will be used as the raw value for this node. If there is no raw value for the parent, and no value is supplied, the default is false.

      Text.new( "<&", false, nil, false ) #-> "&lt;&amp;"
      Text.new( "<&", false, nil, true )  #-> IllegalArgumentException
      Text.new( "&lt;&amp;", false, nil, true )  #-> "&lt;&amp;"
      # Assume that the entity "s" is defined to be "sean"
      # and that the entity    "r" is defined to be "russell"
      Text.new( "sean russell" )          #-> "&s; &r;"
      Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, true ) #-> "sean russell"

`entity_filter` (nil) This can be an array of entities to match in the supplied text. This argument is only useful if `raw` is set to false.

      Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, false, ["s"] ) #-> "&s; russell"
      Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, true, ["s"] ) #-> "sean russell"

In the last example, the `entity_filter` argument is ignored.

`pattern` INTERNAL USE ONLY

### Public Instance methods

<<( to_append )

Appends text to this text node. The text is appended in the `raw` mode of this text node.

        def <<( to_append )
          @string << to_append.gsub( /\r\n?/, "\n" )
        end

<=>( other )

`other` a String or a Text `returns` the result of (to_s <=> arg.to_s)

[Source]

    # File rexml/text.rb, line 116
        def <=>( other )
          to_s() <=> other.to_s
        end

clone()

[Source]

    # File rexml/text.rb, line 102
        def clone
          return Text.new(self)
        end

empty?()

[Source]

    # File rexml/text.rb, line 97
        def empty?
          @string.size==0
        end

indent_text(string, level=1, style="\t", indentfirstline=true)

[Source]

    # File rexml/text.rb, line 199
         def indent_text(string, level=1, style="\t", indentfirstline=true)
          return string if level < 0

node_type()

[Source]

    # File rexml/text.rb, line 93
        def node_type
          :text
        end

to_s()

Returns the string value of this text node. This string is always escaped, meaning that it is a valid XML text node string, and all entities that can be escaped, have been inserted. This method respects the entity filter set in the constructor.

      # Assume that the entity "s" is defined to be "sean", and that the
      # entity "r" is defined to be "russell"
      t = Text.new( "< & sean russell", false, nil, false, ['s'] )
      t.to_s   #-> "&lt; &amp; &s; russell"
      t = Text.new( "< & &s; russell", false, nil, false )
      t.to_s   #-> "&lt; &amp; &s; russell"
      u = Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, true )
      u.to_s   #-> "sean russell"

            doc = @parent.document
            doctype = doc.doctype if doc
          end

          @normalized = Text::normalize( @string, doctype, @entity_filter )
        end

value()

Returns the string value of this text. This is the text without entities, as it might be used programmatically, or printed to the console. This ignores the ‘raw’ attribute setting, and any entity_filter.

      # Assume that the entity "s" is defined to be "sean", and that the
      # entity "r" is defined to be "russell"
      t = Text.new( "< & sean russell", false, nil, false, ['s'] )
      t.string   #-> "< & sean russell"
      t = Text.new( "< & &s; russell", false, nil, false )
      t.string   #-> "< & sean russell"
      u = Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, true )
      u.string   #-> "sean russell"

          end
          @unnormalized = Text::unnormalize( @string, doctype )
        end

value=( val )

Sets the contents of this text node. This expects the text to be unnormalized. It returns self.

      e = Element.new( "a" )
      e.add_text( "foo" )   # <a>foo</a>
      e[0].value = "bar"    # <a>bar</a>

write_with_substitution(out, input)

Writes out text, substituting special characters beforehand. `out` A String, IO, or any other object supporting <<( String ) `input` the text to substitute and the write out

      z=utf8.unpack("U*")
      ascOut=""
      z.each{|r|
        if r <  0x100
