## Detailed Description

Each `Document` has a `doctype` attribute whose value is either `null` or a `DocumentType` object. The `DocumentType` interface in the DOM Level 1 Core provides an interface to the list of entities that are defined for the document, and little else because the effect of namespaces and the various XML scheme efforts on DTD representation are not clearly understood as of this writing.

The DOM Level 1 doesn't support editing `DocumentType` nodes.

DocumentType () | ### DocumentType

DocumentType (const DocumentType &other) | ### DocumentType

DocumentType (const Node &other) | ### DocumentType

DocumentType & operator = (const Node &other) | ### operator =

Reimplemented from Node.

DocumentType & operator = (const DocumentType &other) | ### operator =

Reimplemented from Node.

~DocumentType () | ### ~DocumentType

DOMString name () | ### name

[const]

The name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following the `DOCTYPE` keyword.

NamedNodeMap entities () | ### entities

[const]

A `NamedNodeMap` containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. Duplicates are discarded. For example in: <!DOCTYPE ex SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo "foo"> <!ENTITY bar "bar"> <!ENTITY % baz "baz"> ]> <ex/> the interface provides access to `foo` and `bar` but not `baz` . Every node in this map also implements the `Entity` interface.

The DOM Level 1 does not support editing entities, therefore `entities` cannot be altered in any way.

NamedNodeMap notations () | ### notations

[const]

A `NamedNodeMap` containing the notations declared in the DTD. Duplicates are discarded. Every node in this map also implements the `Notation` interface.

The DOM Level 1 does not support editing notations, therefore `notations` cannot be altered in any way.

DOMString publicId () | ### publicId

[const]

Introduced in DOM Level 2

The public identifier of the external subset.

DOMString systemId () | ### systemId

[const]

Introduced in DOM Level 2

The system identifier of the external subset.

DOMString internalSubset () | ### internalSubset

[const]

Introduced in DOM Level 2

The internal subset as a string.

Note: The actual content returned depends on how much information is available to the implementation. This may vary depending on various parameters, including the XML processor used to build the document.
