Synopsis

This interface represents the DTD of your XML document, or it is None if one does not exist. Its attributes are read-only, per the DOM specification, because the W3C is uncertain about how the different XML schema efforts will impact DTD usage.

entities

This attribute returns a NamedNodeMap containing both external and internal entities declared within the DTD. Parameter entities aren’t included and entities declared more than once are represented only by the first declaration. The members of the NamedNodeMap implement the Entity interface. If the information is not provided by the underlying parser, or if no entities are defined, this may be None.

internalSubset

This attribute gives access to the internal DTD subset as a string, or None if no internal subset is given. The value of this string does not include the brackets that surround the internal subset.

name

The name of the root element as given in the DTD.

notations

This property represents a NamedNodeMap of the notations within the DTD. Each member of the map implements the Notation interface. Notations declared more than once are represented only by the first declaration. If the information is not provided by the underlying parser, or if no notations are defined, this may be None.

publicId

systemId

This is the system identifier of the external subset. If there is no public identifier, this is ...
