class Text(): This is the node type used for all text data in a document object. Unlike XML DOM text nodes, text nodes in plasT_eX are not mutable. This is because they are a subclass of unicode. This means that they will respond to all of the standard Python string methods in addition to the Node methods and the methods described below.



data: the text content of the node



length: the length of the text content



nodeValue: the text content of the node



wholeText: returns the text content from the current text node as well as its siblings
