Detailed Description
EntityReference
objects may be inserted into the structure model when an entity reference is in the source document, or when the user wishes to insert an entity reference.
Note that character references and references to predefined entities are considered to be expanded by the HTML or XML processor so that characters are represented by their Unicode equivalent rather than by an entity reference. Moreover, the XML processor may completely expand references to entities while building the structure model, instead of providing EntityReference
objects. If it does provide such objects, then for a given EntityReference
node, it may be that there is no Entity
node representing the referenced entity; but if such an Entity
exists, then the child list of the EntityReference
node is the same as that of the Entity
node. As with the Entity
node, all descendants of the EntityReference
are readonly.
The resolution of the children of the EntityReference
(the replacement value of the referenced Entity
) may be lazily evaluated; actions by the user (such as calling the childNodes
method on the EntityReference
node) are assumed to trigger the evaluation.
