/**
 * The <code>Text interface inherits from CharacterData
 * and represents the textual content (termed <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204#syntax'>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 <code>Text interface that is the only
 * child of the element. If there is markup, it is parsed into the
 * information items (elements, comments, etc.) and <code>Text nodes
 * that form the list of children of the element.
 * <p>When a document is first made available via the DOM, there is only one
 * <code>Text node for each block of text. Users may create adjacent
 * <code>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
 * <code>Node.normalize() method merges any such adjacent
 * <code>Text objects into a single node for each block of text.
 * <p> No lexical check is done on the content of a Text node
 * and, depending on its position in the document, some characters must be
 * escaped during serialization using character references; e.g. the
 * characters "<&" if the textual content is part of an element or of
 * an attribute, the character sequence "]]>" when part of an element,
 * the quotation mark character " or the apostrophe character ' when part of
 * an attribute.
 * <p>See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.
