Description copied from interface: Node

A string representation of the node. This is an important method, it allows a simple string transformation of a web page, regardless of a node. For a Text node this is obviously the textual contents itself. For a Remark node this is the remark contents (sic). For tags this is the text contents of it's children (if any). Because multiple nodes are combined when presenting a page in a browser, this will not reflect what a user would see. See HTML specification section 9.1 White space http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.1.
Typical application code (for extracting only the text from a web page) would be:

 for (Enumeration e = parser.elements (); e.hasMoreElements ();)
     // or do whatever processing you wish with the plain text string
     System.out.println ((Node)e.nextElement ()).toPlainTextString ());
 

Specified by:

toPlainTextString in interface Node

Overrides:

toPlainTextString in class AbstractNodeDecorator

Returns:

The text of this node including it's children.
