Thanks Dmitry, very good article.
Other known uses of this approach is to find all text of a specific formatting or style for example.
Here are few notes I can add:
IDocumentVisitor is actually our “poor-man” solution to the requests of customers who need to enumerate document content. The “rolls-royce” solution we are still working on is an API similar to MS Word Automation with familiar Range etc objects.
The Range solution proves very challenging technically and it will be some time before we can deliver, hence we came up with something simple that will satisfy at least some of the requirements.
Please note that we do make breaking changes to IDocumentVisitor from time to time (adding more methods) to support more document elements.
