All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, DTDConstants
```
public final class Element
extends Object
implements DTDConstants, Serializable
```
An element as described in a DTD using the ELEMENT construct. This is essential the description of a tag. It describes the type, content model, attributes, attribute types etc. It is used to correctly parse a document by the Parser.
