## Description

### Macro: XML_COMPLETE_ATTRS

    #define XML_COMPLETE_ATTRS

Bit in the loadsubset context field to tell to do complete the elements attributes lists with the ones defaulted from the DTDs. Use it to initialize xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue.

### Macro: XML_DEFAULT_VERSION

    #define XML_DEFAULT_VERSION

The default version of XML used: 1.0

### Macro: XML_DETECT_IDS

    #define XML_DETECT_IDS

Bit in the loadsubset context field to tell to do ID/REFs lookups. Use it to initialize xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue.

### Macro: XML_SAX2_MAGIC

    #define XML_SAX2_MAGIC

Special constant found in SAX2 blocks initialized fields

### Macro: XML_SKIP_IDS

    #define XML_SKIP_IDS

Bit in the loadsubset context field to tell to not do ID/REFs registration. Used to initialize xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue in some special cases.
