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.
