Introduction

Syntax

tml`<Text text="my text" .../>`
tml`<String text="my text" .../>`

The Text component creates inline text. The text attribute contains the string to be displayed. The normal component build process will convert template stings to Text components so, normally templates returned by the render() method need not use Text components.

A String component is an alias for a Text component.

Note: The text is represented by a DOM text node. If any attribute other than text is supplied (for example className, style, or any other <span> attribute), then the text node is wrapped in a that receives those attributes.

Attributes

• Standard properties
  The Text component accepts the standard attributes.
• Other properties
  Any other attribute is set on the wrapping <span>.
• text (required)
  A String to be displayed.

Children

The Text component ignores all children.

DOM element properties

• The Text Component will render a <span> if any attribute other than text is set, or a bare DOM TEXT node otherwise.
