[FR] Add support for innerText

[dsanghan]

Would be great if we could get support for https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_node_innertext.asp

Example html: nbsp.zip

Text Content shows nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ nbsp;‌ on a hidden div.

Inner Text is much cleaner:

@dsanghan Hey there, unfortunately I don't think that there is a way to add inneText to HTMLKit without introducing a CSS-capable rendering engine.

You see, this attribute works the way you want it to only when combined with a user agent that interprets CSS and know which elements are rendered and which are not.

According to the spec innerText behaves the same way as textContent for non-CSS user agents, which HTMLKit is.

I'll close this, since it is out of scope for HTMLKit. However, please feel free to reopen if you have any suggestions/ideas to make this work.
