Interface Entity
This interface represents a known entity, either parsed or unparsed, in an XML document. Note that this models the entity itself not the entity declaration.
The nodeName attribute that is inherited from Node contains the name of the entity.
An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure
model is passed to the DOM; in this case there will be no EntityReference
nodes in the document tree.
DOM Level 3 does not support editing Entity nodes; if a user wants to make
changes to the contents of an Entity, every related EntityReference node
has to be replaced in the structure model by a clone of the Entity's contents,
and then the desired changes must be made to each of those clones instead.
Entity nodes and all their descendants are readonly.
An Entity node does not have any parent.
