# Type Alias: RefText

> **RefText** = `object`

Defined in: [types.ts:54](https://github.com/laruss/react-text-game/blob/37ebb1fd49045bfbb1d2a2fa96b8f14a2f8c2644/packages/messenger/src/types.ts#L54)

A pointer back into the script beat that produced the text.

## Remarks

The only form that can carry a React node, since a node cannot be serialized.
The content is re-read from the script on every render, so anything dynamic
must travel through `params` rather than being interpolated into the node.
