NAME

6       XML::DOM::EntityReference - An XML ENTITY reference in XML::DOM
7

DESCRIPTION

9       XML::DOM::EntityReference extends XML::DOM::Node.
10
11       EntityReference objects may be inserted into the structure model when
12       an entity reference is in the source document, or when the user wishes
13       to insert an entity reference. Note that character references and
14       references to predefined entities are considered to be expanded by the
15       HTML or XML processor so that characters are represented by their
16       Unicode equivalent rather than by an entity reference. Moreover, the
17       XML processor may completely expand references to entities while
18       building the structure model, instead of providing EntityReference
19       objects. If it does provide such objects, then for a given
20       EntityReference node, it may be that there is no Entity node
21       representing the referenced entity; but if such an Entity exists, then
22       the child list of the EntityReference node is the same as that of the
23       Entity node. As with the Entity node, all descendants of the
24       EntityReference are readonly.
25
26       The resolution of the children of the EntityReference (the replacement
27       value of the referenced Entity) may be lazily evaluated; actions by the
28       user (such as calling the childNodes method on the EntityReference
29       node) are assumed to trigger the evaluation.
