It reports the text of the comment in \fIch\fR. .PP If this function returns FALSE the reader stops parsing and reports an error. The reader uses the function errorString() to get the error message. .SH "bool QXmlLexicalHandler::endCDATA ()\fC [pure virtual]\fR" The reader calls this function to report the end of a CDATA section. .PP If this function returns FALSE the reader stops parsing and reports an error. The reader uses the function errorString() to get the error message. .PP See also startCDATA() and QXmlContentHandler::characters(). .SH "bool QXmlLexicalHandler::endDTD ()\fC [pure virtual]\fR" The reader calls this function to report the end of a DTD declaration, if any. .PP If this function returns FALSE the reader stops parsing and reports an error. The reader uses the function errorString() to get the error message. .PP See also startDTD(). .SH "bool QXmlLexicalHandler::endEntity ( const QString & name )\fC [pure virtual]\fR" The reader calls this function to report the end of an entity called \fIname\fR. .PP For every startEntity() call, there is a corresponding endEntity() call. The calls to startEntity() and endEntity() are properly nested. .PP If this function returns FALSE the reader stops parsing and reports an error. The reader uses the function errorString() to get the error message. .PP See also startEntity(), QXmlContentHandler::skippedEntity(), and QXmlSimpleReader::setFeature(). .SH "QString QXmlLexicalHandler::errorString ()\fC [pure virtual]\fR" The reader calls this function to get an error string if any of the handler functions returns FALSE. .SH "bool QXmlLexicalHandler::startCDATA ()\fC [pure virtual]\fR" The reader calls this function to report the start of a CDATA section. The content of the CDATA section is reported through the QXmlContentHandler::characters() function. This function is intended only to report the boundary. .PP If this function returns FALSE the reader stops parsing and reports an error. The reader uses the function errorString() to get the error message. .PP See also endCDATA(). .SH "bool QXmlLexicalHandler::startDTD ( const QString & name, const QString & publicId, const QString & systemId )\fC [pure virtual]\fR" The reader calls this function to report the start of a DTD declaration, if any. It reports the name of the document type in \fIname\fR, the public identifier in \fIpublicId\fR and the system identifier in \fIsystemId\fR. .PP If the public identifier is missing, \fIpublicId\fR is set to QString::null. If the system identifier is missing, \fIsystemId\fR is set to QString::null. Note that it is not valid XML to have a public identifier but no system identifier; in such cases a parse error will occur. .PP All declarations reported through QXmlDTDHandler or QXmlDeclHandler appear between the startDTD() and endDTD() calls. .PP If this function returns FALSE the reader stops parsing and reports an error. The reader uses the function errorString() to get the error message. .PP See also endDTD(). .SH "bool QXmlLexicalHandler::startEntity ( const QString & name )\fC [pure virtual]\fR" The reader calls this function to report the start of an entity called \fIname\fR. .PP Note that if the entity is unknown, the reader reports it through QXmlContentHandler::skippedEntity() and not through this function. .PP If this function returns FALSE the reader stops parsing and reports an error. The reader uses the function errorString() to get the error message. .PP See also endEntity() and QXmlSimpleReader::setFeature(). .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR http://doc.trolltech.com/qxmllexicalhandler.html .BR http://www.trolltech.com/faq/tech.html .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright 1992-2007 Trolltech ASA, http://www.trolltech.com.
