Receive notification of basic DTD-related events. If a SAX application needs information about notations and unparsed entities, then the application implements this interface and registers an instance with the SAX parser using the parser's setDTDHandler method. The parser uses the instance to report notation and unparsed entity declarations to the application. Note that this interface includes only those DTD events that the XML recommendation requires processors to report: notation and unparsed entity declarations. The SAX parser may report these events in any order, regardless of the order in which the notations and unparsed entities were declared; however, all DTD events must be reported after the document handler's startDocument event, and before the first startElement event. (If the LexicalHandler is used, these events must also be reported before the endDTD event.)

Methods
Receive notification of a notation declaration event.
It is up to the application to record the notation for later
reference, if necessary; notations may appear as attribute values
and in unparsed entity declarations, and are sometime used with
processing instruction target names.
At least one of publicId and systemId must be non-null. If a
system identifier is present, and it is a URL, the SAX parser
must resolve it fully before passing it to the application
through this event.
There is no guarantee that the notation declaration will be
reported before any unparsed entities that use it.
@param name The notation name.
@param publicId The notation's public identifier, or null if none was
given.
@param systemId The notation's system identifier, or null if none was
given.
void
notationDecl(in AString name, in AString publicId, in AString systemId)
Receive notification of an unparsed entity declaration event.
Note that the notation name corresponds to a notation reported
by the notationDecl event. It is up to the application to record
the entity for later reference, if necessary; unparsed entities
may appear as attribute values.
If the system identifier is a URL, the parser must resolve it
fully before passing it to the application.
@param name The unparsed entity's name.
@param publicId The entity's public identifier, or null if none was
given.
@param systemId The entity's system identifier, or null if none was
given.
@param notationName The name of the associated notation.
