General Remarks
This method converts all text node descendants of this element (at any depth) into a normal form where no text nodes are adjacent. In normal form, text nodes can be separated only by markup, such as tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references. The normal form is useful for operations that require a particular document tree structure and ensures that the XML Document Object Model (DOM) view of a document is identical when saved and reloaded.
Collapsed node objects are automatically deleted.
This method applies to the following objects and interfaces:
IXMLDOMText, and IXMLDOMElement.
