expandEntityReferences (attribute )

Owning interface and usage:  
TreeWalker.expandEntityReferences

Member of these other interfaces:  
none

Readonly:   yes

Type:   Boolean

Description:  
The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity reference nodes are visible to the TreeWalker. If false, these children and their descendants will be rejected. Note that this rejection takes precedence over whatToShow and the filter, if any.
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 TreeWalker. 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.
