Reference Section

## Name

text() — Process `text()` nodes

## Synopsis

    <xsl:template match="text()" name="text"/><xsl:template match="text()" mode="xref.text"/><xsl:template match="text()" mode="xref-to"/><xsl:template match="text()" mode="latex.verbatim"/><xsl:template match="text()" mode="slash.hyphen"/>

## A. Description

Handles regular text content (i.e. `#PCDATA`) from DocBook documents.

## B. Pertinent Variables

There are no configuration variables for this template.

## D. DocBook Compliance and LaTeX Notes

For most elements, LaTeX active characters will be escaped using the scape template. However, for text within the following elements, the scape-verbatim template will be used to typeset monospace text: `literal` [2.0.9], `filename` [2.0.9], `userinput` [2.0.9], `systemitem` [2.0.9], `prompt` [2.0.9], `email` [2.0.9], `sgmltag` [2.0.9].

In all cases, interior whitespace will be normalised according to the XSLT specification with the additional feature that leading and trailing whitespace will be elided (as expected with SGML parsers).
