Example
Let's look at the following piece of XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE body [
<!ELEMENT body (element*)>
<!ELEMENT element (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY name "Replacement">
]>
<body>
<element>Entity updated by &name;</element>
</body>
The following instruction will return “name” in vName and “Replacement” in vValue.
SAX GET XML ENTITY(DocRef;vName;vValue)
