33/**
34 * Specifies that the invocation of the method will produce a text
35 *
36 * <p>
37 * The method signature has to match the form {@code R foo(DT1,DT2,..)}
38 *
39 * <p>
40 * R is either {@code void} or the type to which the interface that declares
41 * this method is assignable. In the case of the latter, the method will return
42 * {@code this} object, allowing you to chain the multiple method
43 * invocations like {@link StringBuffer}.
44 *
45 * <p>
46 * DTi must be datatype objects.
47 *
48 * <p>
49 * When this method is called, whitespace-separated text data
50 * is added from each of the datatype objects.
