NAME

       MsOffice::Word::Surgeon::Text - internal representation for a node of literal text

DESCRIPTION

       This is used internally by MsOffice::Word::Surgeon for storing a chunk of literal text in a MsWord
       document. It loosely corresponds to a "<w:t>" node in OOXML, but may also contain an anonymous XML
       fragment which is the part of the document just before the "<w:t>" node -- used for reconstructing the
       complete document after having changed the contents of some text nodes.

METHODS

   new
         my $text_node = MsOffice::Word::Surgeon::Text(
           xml_before   => $xml_string,
           literal_text => $text_string,
         );

       Constructor for a new text object. Arguments are :

       xml_before
           A  string containing arbitrary XML preceding that text node in the complete document.  The string may
           be empty but must be present.

       literal_text
           A string of literal text.

   as_xml
         my $xml = $text_node->as_xml;

       Returns the XML representation of that text node.  The attribute "xml:space="preserve"" is  automatically
       added if the literal text starts of ends with a space character.

   merge
         $text_node->merge($next_text_node);

       Merge  the contents of $next_text_node together with the current text node.  This is only possible if the
       next text node has an empty "xml_before" attribute; if this condition is not met, an exception is raised.

   replace
         my $xml = $text_node->replace($pattern, $replacement_callback, %args);

       Replaces  all  occurrences  of  $pattern  within  the  text  node   by   a   new   string   computed   by
       $replacement_callback,  and  returns  a  new  xml  string  corresponding  to  the  result  of  all  these
       replacements. This is the internal implementation for public method "replace" in MsOffice::Word::Surgeon.

   to_uppercase
       Puts the literal text within the node into uppercase letters.
