						<p>The <span class="literal">Entity</span> object (one of the node types) is an
abstract representation in the W3C DOM of an element that is treated
in an XML document as a storage unit. Some entities define a name
that can be used by other elements (including other entities) as a
shortcut reference to the information stored in the entity. This
latter reference is represented in the W3C DOM as an
<span class="literal">EntityReference</span> node type. You can see many
examples of <span class="literal">Entity</span> elements in DTD documents. For
more details on the application of <span class="literal">Entity</span>
elements, see the XML specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.
