Represents text data in the parsed XML document

## NAME

QDomText - Represents text data in the parsed XML document

## SYNOPSIS

All the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support.\</p\>

`#include <qdom.h>`

Inherits QDomCharacterData.

Inherited by QDomCDATASection.

### Public Members

 **QDomText ( const QDomText & x )**\
 **QDomText & operator= ( const QDomText & x )**\

## DESCRIPTION

The QDomText class represents text data in the parsed XML document.

You can split the text in a QDomText object over two QDomText objecs with splitText().

For further information about the Document Object Model see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/. For a more general introduction of the DOM implementation see the QDomDocument documentation.

See also XML.

## MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

## QDomText::QDomText ()

Constructs an empty QDomText object.

To construct a QDomText with content, use QDomDocument::createTextNode().

## QDomText::QDomText ( const QDomText & x )

Constructs a copy of *x*.

The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode().

## QDomText::~QDomText ()

Destroys the object and frees its resources.

## bool QDomText::isText () const` [virtual]`

Returns TRUE.

Reimplemented from QDomNode.

## QDomNode::NodeType QDomText::nodeType () const` [virtual]`

Returns TextNode.

Reimplemented from QDomCharacterData.

Reimplemented in QDomCDATASection.

## QDomText & QDomText::operator= ( const QDomText & x )

Assigns *x* to this DOM text.

The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode().

## QDomText QDomText::splitText ( int offset )

Splits this DOM text object into two QDomText objects. This object keeps its first *offset* characters and the second (newly created) object is inserted into the document tree after this object with the remaining characters.

The function returns the newly created object.

See also QDomNode::normalize().
