Parses all elements below the current element.

This method will return a string if this was a text-node, or an array if
there were sub-elements.

If there's both text and sub-elements, the text will be discarded.

If the $elementMap argument is specified, the existing elementMap will
be overridden while parsing the tree, and restored after this process.
