get_number_of_chars method

get_number_of_chars

Returns the total number of characters available for rendering within the current element, which includes referenced characters from ‘tref’ reference, regardless of whether they will be rendered. Effectively, this is equivalent to the length of the Node::textContent attribute from DOM Level 3 Core ([DOM3], section 1.4), if that attribute also expanded ‘tref’ elements.

Returns

Total number of characters.
