Defining Notations

A notation is an unparsed entity. It is a name for something that you cannot express in terms of XML. For example, suppose you have an XML file that represents a press release. You can define a notation named logo that points to a JPEG image. You can place the notation in the XML file in the location where you want the logo. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#Notations for more information on the notation element.
