xmlEntityPtr xmlAddDocEntity (xmlDocPtr doc,
const xmlChar * name,
int type,
const xmlChar * ExternalID,
const xmlChar * SystemID,
const xmlChar * content)
Register a new entity for this document.
doc: | the document |
name: | the entity name |
type: | the entity type XML_xxx_yyy_ENTITY |
ExternalID: | the entity external ID if available |
SystemID: | the entity system ID if available |
content: | the entity content |
Returns: | a pointer to the entity or NULL in case of error |
xmlEntityPtr xmlAddDtdEntity (xmlDocPtr doc,
const xmlChar * name,
int type,
const xmlChar * ExternalID,
const xmlChar * SystemID,
const xmlChar * content)
Register a new entity for this document DTD external subset.
doc: | the document |
name: | the entity name |
type: | the entity type XML_xxx_yyy_ENTITY |
ExternalID: | the entity external ID if available |
SystemID: | the entity system ID if available |
content: | the entity content |
Returns: | a pointer to the entity or NULL in case of error |
int xmlAddEntity (xmlDocPtr doc,
int extSubset,
const xmlChar * name,
int type,
const xmlChar * ExternalID,
const xmlChar * SystemID,
const xmlChar * content,
xmlEntityPtr * out)
Register a new entity for this document. Available since 2.13.0.
doc: | the document |
extSubset: | add to the external or internal subset |
name: | the entity name |
type: | the entity type XML_xxx_yyy_ENTITY |
ExternalID: | the entity external ID if available |
SystemID: | the entity system ID if available |
content: | the entity content |
out: | pointer to resulting entity (optional) |
Returns: | an xmlParserErrors error code. |
void xmlCleanupPredefinedEntities (void)
Cleanup up the predefined entities table. Deprecated call
xmlEntitiesTablePtr xmlCopyEntitiesTable (xmlEntitiesTablePtr table)
Build a copy of an entity table.
table: | An entity table |
Returns: | the new xmlEntitiesTablePtr or NULL in case of error. |
xmlEntitiesTablePtr xmlCreateEntitiesTable (void)
create and initialize an empty entities hash table. This really doesn't make sense and should be deprecated
Returns: | the xmlEntitiesTablePtr just created or NULL in case of error. |
void xmlDumpEntitiesTable (xmlBufferPtr buf,
xmlEntitiesTablePtr table)
This will dump the content of the entity table as an XML DTD definition
buf: | An XML buffer. |
table: | An entity table |
void xmlDumpEntityDecl (xmlBufferPtr buf,
xmlEntityPtr ent)
This will dump the content of the entity table as an XML DTD definition
buf: | An XML buffer. |
ent: | An entity table |
const xmlChar * xmlEncodeEntities (xmlDocPtr doc,
const xmlChar * input)
TODO: remove xmlEncodeEntities, once we are not afraid of breaking binary compatibility People must migrate their code to xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant ! This routine will issue a warning when encountered.
doc: | the document containing the string |
input: | A string to convert to XML. |
Returns: | NULL |
xmlChar * xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant (xmlDocPtr doc,
const xmlChar * input)
Do a global encoding of a string, replacing the predefined entities and non ASCII values with their entities and CharRef counterparts. Contrary to xmlEncodeEntities, this routine is reentrant, and result must be deallocated.
doc: | the document containing the string |
input: | A string to convert to XML. |
Returns: | A newly allocated string with the substitution done. |
xmlChar * xmlEncodeSpecialChars (const xmlDoc * doc,
const xmlChar * input)
Do a global encoding of a string, replacing the predefined entities this routine is reentrant, and result must be deallocated.
doc: | the document containing the string |
input: | A string to convert to XML. |
Returns: | A newly allocated string with the substitution done. |
void xmlFreeEntitiesTable (xmlEntitiesTablePtr table)
Deallocate the memory used by an entities hash table.
table: | An entity table |
xmlEntityPtr xmlGetDocEntity (const xmlDoc * doc,
const xmlChar * name)
Do an entity lookup in the document entity hash table and
doc: | the document referencing the entity |
name: | the entity name |
Returns: | the corresponding entity, otherwise a lookup is done in the predefined entities too. Returns A pointer to the entity structure or NULL if not found. |
xmlEntityPtr xmlGetDtdEntity (xmlDocPtr doc,
const xmlChar * name)
Do an entity lookup in the DTD entity hash table and
doc: | the document referencing the entity |
name: | the entity name |
Returns: | the corresponding entity, if found. Note: the first argument is the document node, not the DTD node. Returns A pointer to the entity structure or NULL if not found. |
xmlEntityPtr xmlGetParameterEntity (xmlDocPtr doc,
const xmlChar * name)
Do an entity lookup in the internal and external subsets and
doc: | the document referencing the entity |
name: | the entity name |
Returns: | the corresponding parameter entity, if found. Returns A pointer to the entity structure or NULL if not found. |
xmlEntityPtr xmlGetPredefinedEntity (const xmlChar * name)
Check whether this name is an predefined entity.
name: | the entity name |
Returns: | NULL if not, otherwise the entity |
void xmlInitializePredefinedEntities (void)
Set up the predefined entities. Deprecated call
xmlEntityPtr xmlNewEntity (xmlDocPtr doc,
const xmlChar * name,
int type,
const xmlChar * ExternalID,
const xmlChar * SystemID,
const xmlChar * content)
Create a new entity, this differs from xmlAddDocEntity() that if the document is NULL or has no internal subset defined, then an unlinked entity structure will be returned, it is then the responsibility of the caller to link it to the document later or free it when not needed anymore.
doc: | the document |
name: | the entity name |
type: | the entity type XML_xxx_yyy_ENTITY |
ExternalID: | the entity external ID if available |
SystemID: | the entity system ID if available |
content: | the entity content |
Returns: | a pointer to the entity or NULL in case of error |
