Examples

Suppose you have the following DTD declaration:

&lt;!DOCTYPE abc  [&lt;!ELEMENT abc (#PCDATA)&gt; &lt;!ELEMENT data (#PCDATA)&gt; &lt;!ELEMENT inner_data (#PCDATA)&gt;]&gt;

1	<!DOCTYPE abc [<!ELEMENT abc (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT data (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT inner_data (#PCDATA)>]>

The following PowerScript sets the public ID, and then gets
it and displays it in a message box:

PBDOM_DOCUMENT pbdom_doc<br> <br>pbdom_doc.GetDocType().SetPublicID &amp;<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;("-//MyCompany//DTD//EN")<br>MessageBox ("Get Public ID", &amp;<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;pbdom_doc.GetDocType().GetPublicID())

1	PBDOM_DOCUMENT pbdom_doc<br> <br>pbdom_doc.GetDocType().SetPublicID &<br>   ("-//MyCompany//DTD//EN")<br>MessageBox ("Get Public ID", &<br>   pbdom_doc.GetDocType().GetPublicID())

The
returned string from the GetPublicID call is:

"-//MyCompany//DTD//EN"

1	"-//MyCompany//DTD//EN"

The final DOCTYPE definition in the document is:

&lt;!DOCTYPE abc  PUBLIC "-//MyCompany//DTD//EN" [&lt;!ELEMENT abc (#PCDATA)&gt; &lt;!ELEMENT data (#PCDATA)&gt; &lt;!ELEMENT inner_data (#PCDATA)&gt;]&gt;

1	<!DOCTYPE abc PUBLIC "-//MyCompany//DTD//EN" [<!ELEMENT abc (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT data (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT inner_data (#PCDATA)>]>

About Public ID

The PUBLIC ID is usually accompanied by a SYSTEM ID, so the
DOCTYPE declaration in this example (with a PUBLIC ID but no SYSTEM
ID) might be considered invalid by some parsers.
