The EntityReference Interface
The EntityReference interface represents a general entity reference such as or ©right_notice;. (It is not used for the five predefined entity references &, <, >, ', and ".)
Example 11.13 summarizes the EntityReference interface. You'll notice it declares exactly zero methods of its own. It inherits all of its functionality from the Node superinterface. In an XML document, an entity reference is just a placeholder for the text that will replace it. In a DOM tree, an EntityReference object merely contains the things that will replace the entity reference.

package org.w3c.dom;
