The text between the start-tag and end-tag of an element is called the element content.

PCDATA is also referred as with "text content" or "text node."
You can include a space before the closing > of a tag

You cannot put a space after the opening < character in a tag, or the / character in an end-tag
Therefore, the following is not proper XML syntax:
< first >Bond< /first >
Neither is this:
< first >Bond< / first >
