RadDocument

RadDocument is the root element for RadRichTextBox's content. It holds the collection of Sections defined for the RadRichTextBox content. It also allows you to configure the appearance of its child elements. Currently only one section in the document is supported and all declared sections are merged into one when the document is measured.
