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.
