Method Detail

### startEntity

    public void startEntity(java.lang.String name,
                            org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLResourceIdentifier identifier,
                            java.lang.String encoding)
                     throws org.apache.xerces.xni.XNIException

  This method notifies of the start of an entity. The DTD has the pseudo-name of "[dtd]" parameter entity names start with '%'; and general entities are just specified by their name.
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the entity.
