### scanContent

    public int scanContent(org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLString content)
                    throws java.io.IOException

  Scans a range of parsed character data, setting the fields of the XMLString structure, appropriately.

  Note: The characters are consumed.

  Note: This method does not guarantee to return the longest run of parsed character data. This method may return before markup due to reaching the end of the input buffer or any other reason.

  Note: The fields contained in the XMLString structure are not guaranteed to remain valid upon subsequent calls to the entity scanner. Therefore, the caller is responsible for immediately using the returned character data or making a copy of the character data.

  Overrides:
    `scanContent` in class `XMLEntityScanner`
  Parameters:
    `content` - The content structure to fill.
  Returns:
    Returns the next character on the input, if known. This value may be -1 but this does note designate end of file.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - Thrown if i/o error occurs.
    `EOFException` - Thrown on end of file.

### scanLiteral

    public int scanLiteral(int quote,

                    throws java.io.IOException

  Scans a range of attribute value data, setting the fields of the XMLString structure, appropriately.

  Note: The characters are consumed.

  Note: This method does not guarantee to return the longest run of attribute value data. This method may return before the quote character due to reaching the end of the input buffer or any other reason.

  Note: The fields contained in the XMLString structure are not guaranteed to remain valid upon subsequent calls to the entity scanner. Therefore, the caller is responsible for immediately using the returned character data or making a copy of the character data.

  Overrides:
    `scanLiteral` in class `XMLEntityScanner`
  Parameters:
    `quote` - The quote character that signifies the end of the attribute value data.
    `content` - The content structure to fill.
  Returns:
    Returns the next character on the input, if known. This value may be -1 but this does note designate end of file.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - Thrown if i/o error occurs.
    `EOFException` - Thrown on end of file.

### scanData

    public boolean scanData(java.lang.String delimiter,
                            XMLStringBuffer buffer)
                     throws java.io.IOException

  Scans a range of character data up to the specicied delimiter, setting the fields of the XMLString structure, appropriately.

  Note: The characters are consumed.

  Note: This assumes that the internal buffer is at least the same size, or bigger, than the length of the delimiter and that the delimiter contains at least one character.

  Note: This method does not guarantee to return the longest run of character data. This method may return before the delimiter due to reaching the end of the input buffer or any other reason.

  Note: The fields contained in the XMLString structure are not guaranteed to remain valid upon subsequent calls to the entity scanner. Therefore, the caller is responsible for immediately using the returned character data or making a copy of the character data.

  Overrides:
    `scanData` in class `XMLEntityScanner`
  Parameters:
    `delimiter` - The string that signifies the end of the character data to be scanned.
    `buffer` - The XMLStringBuffer to fill.
  Returns:
    Returns true if there is more data to scan, false otherwise.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - Thrown if i/o error occurs.
    `EOFException` - Thrown on end of file.

### skipChar

    public boolean skipChar(int c)
                     throws java.io.IOException

  Skips a character appearing immediately on the input.

  Note: The character is consumed only if it matches the specified character.

  Overrides:
    `skipChar` in class `XMLEntityScanner`
