Working with Entities
The entities attribute is the plural form of the entity attribute. Entities allow a reference to an unparsed external entity to appear within a document. The entities attribute contains a list of such entities, delimited by white space. The entities property of the DOM is used to retrieve the list of entities declared in the DOCTYPE declaration.
For more information, see the entities property and the IXMLDOMDocumentType object/interface.
