Boolean	true to permit extending the document range; otherwise false.

Example

This code snippet finds the first table of contents which is built upon Heading styles using the TOC field and converts it to plain text paragraph by paragraph. The SubDocument.GetText method overload is used for this purpose. It allows you to set the TextFragmentOptions.AllowExtendingDocumentRange option to false to not include the entire TOC when exporting the first paragraph.

using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native.Implementation;
using DevExpress.XtraEditors;

document.LoadDocument("SampleTOC.docx");
