 // 1 -  Create a clone of a node, and create a clone of each of its child nodes as well.
 Node cloneWithChildren = para.deepClone(true);

 Assert.assertTrue(((CompositeNode) cloneWithChildren).hasChildNodes());
 Assert.assertEquals("Hello world!", cloneWithChildren.getText().trim());

 // 2 -  Create a clone of a node just by itself without any children.

 Assert.assertFalse(((CompositeNode) cloneWithoutChildren).hasChildNodes());
 Assert.assertEquals("", cloneWithoutChildren.getText().trim());
 
```

**Parameters:**
| Parameter | Type | Description |

 // We can either accept revisions to assimilate them into the document
 // or reject them to change the proposed change effectively.
 Assert.assertEquals(6, doc.getRevisions().getCount());

 while (curNode != null) {
     // Save the next sibling node as a variable in case we want to move to it after deleting this node.
     Node nextNode = curNode.getNextSibling();

     // A section body can contain Paragraph and Table nodes.
     // If the node is a Table, remove it from the parent.
     if (curNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.TABLE) {
         curNode.remove();
     }

     curNode = nextNode;

**Parameters:**
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| key | int |  |

### setCustomNodeId(int value) {#setCustomNodeId-int}
```
public void setCustomNodeId(int value)
```


Specifies custom node identifier.

 **Remarks:** 

Default is zero.

This identifier can be set and used arbitrarily. For example, as a key to get external data.

Important note, specified value is not saved to an output file and exists only during the node lifetime.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to traverse through a composite node's collection of child nodes.

```

 Document doc = new Document();

 // Add two runs and one shape as child nodes to the first paragraph of this document.
 Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, true);
 paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world! "));

 Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.RECTANGLE);
 shape.setWidth(200.0);
 shape.setHeight(200.0);
 // Note that the 'CustomNodeId' is not saved to an output file and exists only during the node lifetime.
 shape.setCustomNodeId(100);
 shape.setWrapType(WrapType.INLINE);
 paragraph.appendChild(shape);

 paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello again!"));

 // Iterate through the paragraph's collection of immediate children,
 // and print any runs or shapes that we find within.
 NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false);

 Assert.assertEquals(3, paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false).getCount());

 for (Node child : (Iterable) children)

             Shape childShape = (Shape)child;
             System.out.println("Shape:");
             System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\t{0}, {1}x{2}", childShape.getShapeType(), childShape.getWidth(), childShape.getHeight()));

 **Examples:** 

Exports the content of a node to String in HTML format.

```

 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");

 Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph();

 // When we call the ToString method using the html SaveFormat overload,
 // it converts the node's contents to their raw html representation.
 Assert.assertEquals(" " +
         "Hello World!" +
         "", node.toString(SaveFormat.HTML));

 // We can also modify the result of this conversion using a SaveOptions object.
 HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
 saveOptions.setExportRelativeFontSize(true);

 Assert.assertEquals(" " +
         "Hello World!" +
         "", node.toString(saveOptions));
 
```
