Creating a text node

text = AST::Text.new("Hello, world!")

text2 = AST::Text.new(" world")
text1.merge(text2)
text1.text # => "Hello world"

The text is copied into a fresh mutable buffer so that subsequent in-place mutations (e.g. via #merge) do not leak back to the caller’s original string.

Parameters:

  • text (String) —

    the text content
