     * The set of nodes to be iterated is determined by the implementation of the NodeIterator. DOM Level 2

     *
     * 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 expandEntityReferences to true when creating the iterator. To
     * produce a view of the document that has entity reference nodes but no entity expansion,

     * expandEntityReferences to false.

     * @param whatToShow This attribute determines which node types are presented via the iterator.

     * navigation using a TreeWalker will automatically support any view defined by a TreeWalker.

     * the same subtree in the complete, unfiltered document. Nodes that are siblings in the TreeWalker view may
     * be children of different, widely separated nodes in the original view. For instance, consider a Filter that skips
     * all nodes except for DOMText nodes and the root node of a document. In the logical view that results, all text
     * nodes will be siblings and appear as direct children of the root node, no matter how deeply nested the
     * structure of the original document.
