expandEntityReferences

Owning interface and usage:
NodeIterator.
expandEntityReferences
Member of these other interfaces:
none
Readonly: yes
Description:
The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity reference nodes are visible to the iterator. If false, these
children and their
[descendants]
will be rejected. Note that this rejection takes precedence over whatToShow and the filter. Also note that this is currently the only situation where NodeIterators may reject a complete subtree rather than skipping individual nodes.
To produce a view of the document that has entity references expanded and does not expose the entity reference node itself,
use the whatToShow flags to hide the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to true when creating the iterator. To produce a view of the document that has entity reference nodes but no entity expansion,
use the whatToShow flags to show the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to false.
