HTML::DOM::Text - A Perl class for representing text nodes in an HTML DOM tree

NAME

  use HTML::DOM;
  $doc = HTML::DOM->new;
  $comment = $doc->createComment("yayayayayayaaya");

  $comment->data;              # 'yayayayayayaaya'
  $comment->length;            #  27
  $comment->substringData(13); # 'ya' 
  # etc.

This class implements the Comment interface for the HTML::DOM manpage. It inherits from the HTML::DOM::CharacterData manpage, which inherits from the HTML::DOM::Node manpage.

$text->nodeName: This returns '#comment'.
$text->nodeType: This returns the constant HTML::DOM::Node::COMMENT_NODE.
$text->starttag: An overridden version of HTML::Element's method, which returns the return value of data surrounded by  >>.
$text->endtag: An overridden version of HTML::Element's method, which returns an empty string.
