NIST The "createEntityReference(name)" method creates an EntityReference node. In addition, if the referenced entity is known, the child list of the "EntityReference" node is the same as the corresponding "Entity" node. Retrieve the entire DOM document and invoke its "createEntityReference(name)" method. It should create a new EntityReference node for the Entity with the given name. The referenced entity is known, therefore the child list of the "EntityReference" node is the same as the corresponding "Entity" node. Mary Brady 2001-08-17
