	<description>
		This method, used in-combination with the `dt-api cells()` method (and therefore the various selector forms that it allows) will obtain the DOM nodes for the selected cells, allowing them to be directly manipulated - for example adding a class.

var table = $('#example').DataTable();

var cells = table
	.cells( ":contains('Not shipped')" )
	.nodes();

$( cells ).addClass( 'warning' );
