<code>NodeIterators</code> are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.
the set of nodes in a <code>NodeList</code>, the document subtree
governed by a particular <code>Node</code>, the results of a query, or
any other set of nodes. The set of nodes to be iterated is determined by
the implementation of the <code>NodeIterator</code>. DOM Level 2
specifies a single <code>NodeIterator</code> implementation for
document-order traversal of a document subtree. Instances of these
<code>NodeIterators</code> are created by calling
<code>DocumentTraversal</code><code>.createNodeIterator()</code>.
<p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Traversal-Range-20001113'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification</a>.

in the <code>NodeFilter</code> interface. Nodes not accepted by

<DD>The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity
reference nodes are visible to the <code>NodeIterator</code>. If
false, these children and their descendants will be rejected. Note
that this rejection takes precedence over <code>whatToShow</code> and
the filter. Also note that this is currently the only situation where
<code>NodeIterators</code> may reject a complete subtree rather than
skipping individual nodes.
<br>
<br> To produce a view of the document that has entity references
expanded and does not expose the entity reference node itself, use
the <code>whatToShow</code> flags to hide the entity reference node
and set <code>expandEntityReferences</code> to true when creating the
<code>NodeIterator</code>. To produce a view of the document that has
entity reference nodes but no entity expansion, use the
<code>whatToShow</code> flags to show the entity reference node and
set <code>expandEntityReferences</code> to false.</DL>
