💜 Field Documentation 💜

• const char* GumboText::text — the actual text of this node, after entities have been parsed and decoded ✨ and for comment/cdata nodes? this does not include the comment delimiters. so you get the good stuff, not the wrapping 🫶
• GumboStringPiece GumboText::original_text — the original text of this node, handed to you as a pointer into the original buffer 🌈 and for comment/cdata nodes, this one does include the comment delimiters. yep, she comes with the packaging 💅
• GumboSourcePosition GumboText::start_pos — the starting position of this node 🎯 and listen: this corresponds to the position of original_text, before entities are decoded. so if you're eyeballing the raw buffer, this is your girl. periodt.
