text
Description
The text
pattern matches zero or more text nodes.
A match of more than one text node has no effect when it is used in
ordered content models (the data model used by RELAX NG for XML
documents is similar to the data model of XPath 1.0, and two text
nodes can’t be adjacent) but makes a difference when
a text
pattern is used in
interleave
. Adding a single
text
pattern in an interleave
pattern has the effect of allowing any number of text nodes, which
can interleave before and after each element (note that the
mixed
pattern is provided as a shortcut to define
these content models).
Restrictions
No more than one text
pattern can be included in
an interleave
pattern.
Example
<element name="first"><text/></element> <element name="name"> <choice> <text/> <group> <element name="first"><text/></element> <optional> <element name="middle"><text/></element> </optional> <element name="last"><text/></element> </group> </choice> </element>
