Range
A range of elements in a document. The user's selection is represented as a Range, among other uses. Scripts can only access the selection of the user who is running the script, and only if the script is bound to the document.
// Bold all selected text.constselection=DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection();if(selection){constelements=selection.getRangeElements();for(leti=0;i < elements.length;i++){constelement=elements[i];// Only modify elements that can be edited as text; skip images and other// non-text elements.if(element.getElement().editAsText){consttext=element.getElement().editAsText();// Bold the selected part of the element, or the full element if it's// completely selected.if(element.isPartial()){text.setBold(element.getStartOffset(),element.getEndOffsetInclusive(),true,);}else{text.setBold(true);}}}}
Gets all elements in this Range, including any partial Text elements (for example, in the case of a selection that includes only part of a Text element).
Gets all elements that the user has selected in the open instance of the document, including any partially selected Text elements.
