NAME
       XML::DOM::Entity - An XML ENTITY in XML::DOM

DESCRIPTION
       XML::DOM::Entity extends XML::DOM::Node.

       This node represents an Entity declaration, e.g.

        <!ENTITY % draft 'INCLUDE'>

        <!ENTITY hatch-pic SYSTEM "../grafix/OpenHatch.gif" NDATA gif>

       The first one is called a parameter entity and is referenced like this:
       %draft; The 2nd is a (regular) entity and is referenced like this:
       &hatch-pic;

       METHODS


       getNotationName
           Returns the name of the notation for the entity.

           Not Implemented The DOM Spec says: For unparsed entities, the name
           of the notation for the entity. For parsed entities, this is null.
           (This implementation does not support unparsed entities.)

       getSysId
           Returns the system id, or undef.

       getPubId
           Returns the public id, or undef.

       Additional methods not in the DOM Spec


       isParameterEntity
           Whether it is a parameter entity (%ent;) or not (&ent;)

       getValue
           Returns the entity value.

       getNdata
           Returns the NDATA declaration (for general unparsed entities), or
           undef.
