EntityReference Class Reference
from PyKDE4.khtml import *
Inherits: DOM.Node
Namespace: DOM
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.
