Just try it. There are no general limits, except of course available
memory.

In general whatever you pass is interpreted as text, the same way a
text node is interpreted in the XML input (in the sense of "a text
node in a DOM"). No quoting necessary. Some processors allow you
to pass other things than strings, for example DOM trees. This is,
however, highly processor specific.
If you mean by "certain types of text" XML, well, it is just treated
as text and not parsed. Therefore, again, no quoting necessary.
