    // Extract the text contents of our document by accepting this custom document visitor.
    DocTextExtractor myDocTextExtractor = new DocTextExtractor();
    Section fisrtSection = doc.FirstSection;
    fisrtSection.Body.Accept(myDocTextExtractor);
    // Visit only start of the document body.
    fisrtSection.Body.AcceptStart(myDocTextExtractor);
    // Visit only end of the document body.
    fisrtSection.Body.AcceptEnd(myDocTextExtractor);

    // The absolute position tab, which has no equivalent in string form, has been explicitly converted to a tab character.
    Assert.AreEqual("Before AbsolutePositionTab\tAfter AbsolutePositionTab", myDocTextExtractor.GetText());

    // An AbsolutePositionTab can accept a DocumentVisitor by itself too.
    AbsolutePositionTab absPositionTab = (AbsolutePositionTab)doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.GetChild(NodeType.SpecialChar, 0, true);

    myDocTextExtractor = new DocTextExtractor();
    absPositionTab.Accept(myDocTextExtractor);

    Assert.AreEqual("\t", myDocTextExtractor.GetText());
