## Properties

wholeText

  Holds all the text of logically-adjacent (not separated by Element, Comment or Processing Instruction) Text nodes.

## Table of Contents

- DOMText::__construct — Creates a new DOMText object
- DOMText::isElementContentWhitespace — Returns whether this text node contains whitespace in element content
- DOMText::isWhitespaceInElementContent — Indicates whether this text node contains whitespace
- DOMText::splitText — Breaks this node into two nodes at the specified offset
