REXML::DocType

Represents an XML DOCTYPE declaration; that is, the contents of <!DOCTYPE … >. DOCTYPES can be used to declare the DTD of a document, as well as being used to declare entities used in the document.

Attributes

entities[R]

name is the name of the doctype #external_id is the referenced DTD, if given

external_id[R]

name is the name of the doctype #external_id is the referenced DTD, if given

name[R]

name is the name of the doctype #external_id is the referenced DTD, if given

namespaces[R]

name is the name of the doctype #external_id is the referenced DTD, if given

Public Class Methods

new( first, parent=nil ) click to toggle source

Constructor

dt = DocType.new( 'foo', '-//I/Hate/External/IDs' )
# <!DOCTYPE foo '-//I/Hate/External/IDs'>
dt = DocType.new( doctype_to_clone )
# Incomplete.  Shallow clone of doctype

Note that the constructor:

Doctype.new( Source.new( "<!DOCTYPE foo 'bar'>" ) )

is deprecated. Do not use it. It will probably disappear.
