TDOMElement.Normalize procedure

Declaration

procedure Normalize; override

Description

Normalize is an overridden method in TDOMElement used to perform normalization for Text and Attribute nodes in the DOM element.

Normalize convert child text nodes in the sub-tree to their normal form where only structure nodes separate the text nodes. Adjacent text nodes are combined into a single text node. Adjacent text nodes which contain only ignorable whitespace are consolidated into a single whitespace value. The same actions are performed for nodes in the Attributes property.

Normalize implements the method defined for the DOM Node interface in the DOM Level 2 Specification.
