IsSGMLCharacterEntity Function

Overview

The IsSGMLCharacterEntity function tests if a string contains the proper format for an SGML character entity.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

boolean = IsSGMLCharacterEntity ( string value );

Parameters

value

A string to test.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if value contains the proper format of an SGML character entity or FALSE if it does not.

Remarks

The IsSGMLCharacterEntity function checks that a string contains the proper formatting of an SGML character entity (for example, ““”). Specifically it must begin with a ‘&’ character, followed by either a ‘#’ or alphabetic character and then a sequence of numeric or alphabetic character. The entity must end in a semicolon (“;”).

The IsSGMLCharacterEntity function does not test if the character entity is a valid entity.
