# XML::LibXML::Comment(3pm)

XML::LibXML Comment Class

## NAME

XML::LibXML::Comment - XML::LibXML Comment Class

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use XML::LibXML;
  # Only methods specific to Comment nodes are listed here,
  # see the XML::LibXML::Node manpage for other methods
  $node = XML::LibXML::Comment->new( $content );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This class provides all functions of XML::LibXML::Text, but for comment nodes. This can be done, since only the output of the node types is different, but not the data structure. :-)

## METHODS

The class inherits from XML::LibXML::Node. The documentation for Inherited methods is not listed here.

Many functions listed here are extensively documented in the DOM Level 3 specification (\<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/\>). Please refer to the specification for extensive documentation.

- new

  ```
    $node = XML::LibXML::Comment->new( $content );
  ```

  The constructor is the only provided function for this package. It is required, because *libxml2* treats text nodes and comment nodes slightly differently.
