(function($){

 '$:nomunge'; // Used by YUI compressor.
 
 // Method: jQuery.fn.replaceText
 // 
 // Replace text in specified elements. Note that only text content will be
 // modified, leaving all tags and attributes untouched. The new text can be
 // either text or HTML.
 // 
 // Uses the String prototype replace method, full documentation on that method
 // can be found here: 
 // 
 // https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Objects/String/Replace
 // 
 // Usage:
 // 
 // > jQuery('selector').replaceText( search, replace [, text_only ] );
 // 
 // Arguments:
 // 
 //  search - (RegExp|String) A RegExp object or substring to be replaced.
 //    Because the String prototype replace method is used internally, this
 //    argument should be specified accordingly.
 //  replace - (String|Function) The String that replaces the substring received
 //    from the search argument, or a function to be invoked to create the new
 //    substring. Because the String prototype replace method is used internally,
 //    this argument should be specified accordingly.
 //  text_only - (Boolean) If true, any HTML will be rendered as text. Defaults
 //    to false.
 // 
 // Returns:
 // 
 //  (jQuery) The initial jQuery collection of elements.
