+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken -- text-tokens from Pod::Simple::PullParser
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+(See L<Pod::Simple::PullParser>)
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+When you do $parser->get_token on a L<Pod::Simple::PullParser>, you might
+get an object of this class.
+
+This is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple::PullParserToken> and inherits all its methods,
+and adds these methods:
+
+=over
+
+=item $token->text
+
+This returns the text that this token holds.  For example, parsing
+CZ<><foo> will return a C start-token, a text-token, and a C end-token.  And
+if you want to get the "foo" out of the text-token, call C<< $token->text >>
+
+=item $token->text(I<somestring>)
+
+This changes the string that this token holds.  You probably won't need
+to do this.
+
+=item $token->text_r()
+
+This returns a scalar reference to the string that this token holds.
+This can be useful if you don't want to memory-copy the potentially
+large text value (well, as large as a paragraph or a verbatim block)
+as calling $token->text would do.
+
+Or, if you want to alter the value, you can even do things like this:
+
+  for ( ${  $token->text_r  } ) {  # Aliases it with $_ !!
+  
+    s/ The / the /g; # just for example
+    
+    if( 'A' eq chr(65) ) {  # (if in an ASCII world)
+      tr/\xA0/ /;
+      tr/\xAD//d;
+    }
+    
+    ...or however you want to alter the value...
+  }
+
+=back
+
+You're unlikely to ever need to construct an object of this class for
+yourself, but if you want to, call
+C<<
+Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken->new( I<text> )
+>>
