Description

It would be nice to be able to disable text content from embedded files.

For example, if I have a DOCX with an embedded PPTX, then I would like the option to disable text from the PPTX from showing up when asking for the text content from DOCX. In other words, it would be nice to have the option to get text content only from the DOCX instead of the DOCX+PPTX.
