      Returns:
        the Document Type Declaration

    - #### getProcessedDTD

          Object getProcessedDTD()

      Returns an implementation defined representation of the DTD. This method may return null if no representation is available.
      Returns:
        the representation of the DTD

    - #### getNotations

          List<NotationDeclaration> getNotations()

      Return a List containing the notations declared in the DTD. This list must contain NotationDeclaration events.
      Returns:
        an unordered list of NotationDeclaration events
      See Also:

    - #### getEntities

          List<EntityDeclaration> getEntities()

      Return a List containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. This list must contain EntityDeclaration events.
      Returns:
        an unordered list of EntityDeclaration events
