Interface EntityReference
- public interface EntityReference
- extends Node
EntityReference
objects may be inserted into the structure
model when an entity reference is in the source document, or when the user
wishes to insert an entity reference. Note that character references and
references to predefined entities are considered to be expanded by the HTML or
XML processor so that characters are represented by their Unicode equivalent
rather than by an entity reference. Moreover, the XML processor may completely
expand references to entities while building the structure model, instead of
providing EntityReference
objects. If it does provide such
objects, then for a given EntityReference
node, it may be that
there is no Entity
node representing the referenced entity. If
such an Entity
exists, then the subtree of the
EntityReference
node is in general a copy of the
Entity
node subtree. However, this may not be true when an entity
contains an unbound namespace prefix. In such a case, because the namespace
prefix resolution depends on where the entity reference is, the descendants of
the EntityReference
node may be bound to different namespace
URIs.
As for Entity
nodes, EntityReference
nodes and all
their descendants are readonly.
