Hi,
you are getting nodes of type element_node because you requested
that. You cannot force an element node to be a text node. If you want the
text content of an element node you could get the children of the element
node and filter out elements or you could use something like
getTextContent (the docs are in DOMNode) if you did not mind it being
recursive.
