Node parent	getparent	( )	Get the parent Node of this Node
string path	getpath	( )	Returns the node path as a string that can be reused with findchild
Reference reference	getreference	( )	Returns the reference node it is connected to
of table	getreferences	( [ topref Reference ] )	Returns the references in the document sorted depth first.
string result	getstringcopy	( )	Return a copy of the node and its content as a string to be pasted
