xmlInitializePredefinedEntities ()

void        xmlInitializePredefinedEntities (void);

Set up the predefined entities. Deprecated call

xmlAddDocEntity ()

xmlEntityPtr xmlAddDocEntity                (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             const xmlChar *name,

                                             const xmlChar *content);

Register a new entity for this document.

xmlAddDtdEntity ()

xmlEntityPtr xmlAddDtdEntity                (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             const xmlChar *name,

                                             const xmlChar *content);

Register a new entity for this document DTD external subset.

xmlGetPredefinedEntity ()

xmlEntityPtr xmlGetPredefinedEntity         (const xmlChar *name);

Check whether this name is an predefined entity.

xmlGetDocEntity ()

xmlEntityPtr xmlGetDocEntity                (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             const xmlChar *name);

Do an entity lookup in the document entity hash table and returns the corresponding entity, otherwise a lookup is done in the predefined entities too.

xmlGetDtdEntity ()

xmlEntityPtr xmlGetDtdEntity                (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             const xmlChar *name);

Do an entity lookup in the DTD entity hash table and returns the corresponding entity, if found. Note: the first argument is the document node, not the DTD node.

xmlGetParameterEntity ()

xmlEntityPtr xmlGetParameterEntity          (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             const xmlChar *name);

Do an entity lookup in the internal and external subsets and returns the corresponding parameter entity, if found.

xmlEncodeEntities ()

const xmlChar* xmlEncodeEntities            (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             const xmlChar *input);

TODO: remove xmlEncodeEntities, once we are not afraid of breaking binary compatibility

People must migrate their code to xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant ! This routine will issue a warning when encountered.

xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant ()

xmlChar*    xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant      (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             const xmlChar *input);

Do a global encoding of a string, replacing the predefined entities and non ASCII values with their entities and CharRef counterparts. Contrary to xmlEncodeEntities, this routine is reentrant, and result must be deallocated.

xmlEncodeSpecialChars ()

xmlChar*    xmlEncodeSpecialChars           (xmlDocPtr doc,
                                             const xmlChar *input);

Do a global encoding of a string, replacing the predefined entities this routine is reentrant, and result must be deallocated.

xmlCreateEntitiesTable ()

xmlEntitiesTablePtr xmlCreateEntitiesTable  (void);

create and initialize an empty entities hash table.

xmlCopyEntitiesTable ()

xmlEntitiesTablePtr xmlCopyEntitiesTable    (xmlEntitiesTablePtr table);

Build a copy of an entity table.

xmlFreeEntitiesTable ()

void        xmlFreeEntitiesTable            (xmlEntitiesTablePtr table);

Deallocate the memory used by an entities hash table.

xmlDumpEntitiesTable ()

void        xmlDumpEntitiesTable            (xmlBufferPtr buf,
                                             xmlEntitiesTablePtr table);

This will dump the content of the entity table as an XML DTD definition

xmlDumpEntityDecl ()

void        xmlDumpEntityDecl               (xmlBufferPtr buf,
                                             xmlEntityPtr ent);

This will dump the content of the entity table as an XML DTD definition

xmlCleanupPredefinedEntities ()

void        xmlCleanupPredefinedEntities    (void);

Cleanup up the predefined entities table. Deprecated call
