void comment ( AString chars )

Report an XML comment anywhere in the document.

This callback will be used for comments inside or outside the document element, including comments in the external DTD subset (if read). Comments in the DTD must be properly nested inside start/endDTD and start/endEntity events (if used).

Arguments:

chars: The characters in the comment.

void endCDATA ( )

Report the end of a CDATA section.

void endDTD ( )

Report the end of DTD declarations.

This method is intended to report the end of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.

void endEntity ( AString name )

Report the end of an entity.

Arguments:

name: The name of the entity that is ending.

void startCDATA ( )

Report the start of a CDATA section.

The contents of the CDATA section will be reported through the regular characters event; this event is intended only to report the boundary.

void startDTD ( AString name , AString publicId , AString systemId )

Report the start of DTD declarations, if any.

This method is intended to report the beginning of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.

All declarations reported through DTDHandler or DeclHandler events must appear between the startDTD and endDTD events. Declarations are assumed to belong to the internal DTD subset unless they appear between startEntity and endEntity events. Comments and processing instructions from the DTD should also be reported between the startDTD and endDTD events, in their original order of (logical) occurrence; they are not required to appear in their correct locations relative to DTDHandler or DeclHandler events, however.

Note that the start/endDTD events will appear within the start/endDocument events from ContentHandler and before the first startElement event.

Arguments:

name: The document type name.

publicId: The declared public identifier for the external DTD subset, or null if none was declared.

systemId: The declared system identifier for the external DTD subset, or null if none was declared. (Note that this is not resolved against the document base URI.)

void startEntity ( AString name )

Report the beginning of some internal and external XML entities.

Because of the streaming event model that SAX uses, some entity boundaries cannot be reported under any circumstances:

1.) general entities within attribute values 2.) parameter entities within declarations

These will be silently expanded, with no indication of where the original entity boundaries were.

Note also that the boundaries of character references (which are not really entities anyway) are not reported.

All start/endEntity events must be properly nested.

Arguments:

name: The name of the entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be "[dtd]".
