Description
This infrequently used interface represents a
notation declaration in the
document type definition (DTD) of an XML document. In XML, notations
are used to specify the format of an unparsed entity or to formally
declare a processing instruction target.
The name of the notation is specified by the inherited
nodeName property. Because notations appear in the
DTD and not the document itself, Notation nodes are never part of the
document tree, and the parentNode property is
always null. The notations property of the
DocumentType interface provides a way to look up Notation objects by
notation name.
Notation objects are read-only and cannot be modified in any way.
