Method Detail

• getName

  String getName()

  The name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following the DOCTYPE keyword.

• getEntities

  NamedNodeMap getEntities()

  A NamedNodeMap containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. Parameter entities are not contained. Duplicates are discarded. For example in:

  <!DOCTYPE
   ex SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo "foo"> <!ENTITY bar
   "bar"> <!ENTITY bar "bar2"> <!ENTITY % baz "baz">
   ]> <ex/>

  the interface provides access to foo and the first declaration of bar but not the second declaration of bar or baz. Every node in this map also implements the Entity interface.
  The DOM Level 2 does not support editing entities, therefore entities cannot be altered in any way.

• getNotations

  NamedNodeMap getNotations()

  A NamedNodeMap containing the notations declared in the DTD. Duplicates are discarded. Every node in this map also implements the Notation interface.
  The DOM Level 2 does not support editing notations, therefore notations cannot be altered in any way.
