# extendMarkRange command

Use the extendMarkRange command in Tiptap to expand the current selection to include the specified mark. Learn more in our docs!

Optionally, you can specify attributes that the extended mark must contain.

```js
// Expand selection to link marks
editor.commands.extendMarkRange('link')

// Expand selection to link marks with specific attributes
editor.commands.extendMarkRange('link', { href: 'https://google.com' })

// Expand selection to link mark and update attributes
editor
  .chain()
  .extendMarkRange('link')

  })
