NAME

       XML::LibXML::Dtd - XML::LibXML DTD Handling

SYNOPSIS

	 use XML::LibXML;

	 $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new($public_id, $system_id);
	 $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->parse_string($dtd_str);
	 $publicId = $dtd->getName();
	 $publicId = $dtd->publicId();
	 $systemId = $dtd->systemId();

DESCRIPTION

       This class holds a DTD. You may parse a DTD from either a string, or from an external SYSTEM identifier.

       No support is available as yet for parsing from a filehandle.

       XML::LibXML::Dtd is a sub-class of XML::LibXML::Node, so all the methods available to nodes (particularly toString()) are available to Dtd
       objects.

METHODS

       new
	     $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new($public_id, $system_id);

	   Parse a DTD from the system identifier, and return a DTD object that you can pass to $doc->is_valid() or $doc->validate().

	     my $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new(
				   "SOME // Public / ID / 1.0",
				   "test.dtd"
					     );
	      my $doc = XML::LibXML->new->parse_file("test.xml");
	      $doc->validate($dtd);

       parse_string
	     $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->parse_string($dtd_str);

	   The same as new() above, except you can parse a DTD from a string. Note that parsing from string may fail if the DTD contains external
	   parametric-entity references with relative URLs.

       getName
	     $publicId = $dtd->getName();

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

       publicId
	     $publicId = $dtd->publicId();

	   Returns the public identifier of the external subset.

       systemId
	     $systemId = $dtd->systemId();

	   Returns the system identifier of the external subset.
