Interface org.w3c.dom.DocumentType

public interface DocumentType
extends Node
Each Document has a doctype attribute whose value is either null or a DocumentType object. The DocumentType interface in the DOM Level 1 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 scheme efforts on DTD representation are not clearly understood as of this writing.

The DOM Level 1 doesn't support editing DocumentType nodes.

Method Index

o getEntities()
A NamedNodeMap containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD.
o getName()
The name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following the DOCTYPE keyword.
o getNotations()
A NamedNodeMap containing the notations declared in the DTD.

Methods

o getName 
 public abstract String getName()
The name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following the DOCTYPE keyword.

o getEntities 
 public abstract NamedNodeMap getEntities()
A NamedNodeMap containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. Duplicates are discarded. For example in:<!DOCTYPE ex SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo "foo"> <!ENTITY bar "bar"> <!ENTITY % baz "baz">]> <ex/> the interface provides access to foo and bar but not baz. Every node in this map also implements the Entity interface.
The DOM Level 1 does not support editing entities, therefore entities cannot be altered in any way.

o getNotations 
 public abstract 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 1 does not support editing notations, therefore notations cannot be altered in any way.
