DocumentType
implements
Node
org.w3c.dom.DocumentType |
Each Document
has a doctype
attribute whose value
is either null
or a DocumentType
object. The
DocumentType
interface in the DOM Core provides an interface
to the list of entities that are defined for the document, and little
else because the effect of namespaces and the various XML schema efforts
on DTD representation are not clearly understood as of this writing.
DOM Level 3 doesn't support editing DocumentType
nodes.
DocumentType
nodes are read-only.
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

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.
entities
cannot be altered in any way.

NamedNodeMap |
String getInternalSubset ()
The internal subset as a string, or null
if there is none.
This is does not contain the delimiting square brackets.
Note: The actual content returned depends on how much information is available to the implementation. This may vary depending on various parameters, including the XML processor used to build the document.

---|---|
String |
String getName ()
The name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following the
DOCTYPE
keyword.
Returns | |
---|---|
String |
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.
Returns | |
---|---|
NamedNodeMap |
String getPublicId ()
The public identifier of the external subset.

String getSystemId ()
The system identifier of the external subset. This may be an absolute URI or not.
