XMLEntityReferenceMBS objects may be inserted into the structure model when an entity reference is in the source document, or when the user wishes to insert an entity reference. Note that character references and references to predefined entities are considered to be expanded by the HTML or XML processor so that characters are represented by their Unicode equivalent rather than by an entity reference. Moreover, the XML processor may completely expand references to entities while building the structure model, instead of providing XMLEntityReferenceMBS objects. If it does provide such objects, then for a given XMLEntityReferenceMBS node, it may be that there is no XMLEntityMBS node representing the referenced entity. If such an XMLEntityMBS exists, then the subtree of the XMLEntityReferenceMBS node is in general a copy of the XMLEntityMBS node subtree. However, this may not be true when an entity contains an unbound namespace prefix. In such a case, because the namespace prefix resolution depends on where the entity reference is, the descendants of the XMLEntityReferenceMBS node may be bound to different namespace URIs.
As for XMLEntityMBS nodes, XMLEntityReferenceMBS nodes and all their descendants are readonly.

- 18 constants
Document Positions
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
DocumentPositionContainedBy | 16 |
The node is contained by the reference node. A node which is contained is always following, too. |
DocumentPositionContains | 8 |
The node contains the reference node. A node which contains is always preceding, too. |
DocumentPositionDisconnected | 1 |
The two nodes are disconnected. Order between disconnected nodes is always implementation-specific. |
DocumentPositionFollowing | 4 |
The node follows the reference node. |
DocumentPositionImplementationSpecific | 32 |
The determination of preceding versus following is implementation-specific. |
DocumentPositionPreceding | 2 |
The second node precedes the reference node. |
