Can I omit the article 'a' before 'text'?
Hi,
Example:
The history contains several history item entries. Each item identifies a previously approved version of this ABC file. A text within the items can be used to explain further details to this version.
Will the third sentence "become worse" if I remove the indefinite
article (it's underlined) before the noun 'text'?

Thanks, Mister Micawber!
These three sentences were taken from a IEC spec (created by some Swiss engineers ...I think so because it's written "Geneva" in the footer :-).
Let me make another attempt to "brush up" the original piece of text...
