Purpose

A built-in stream shelf that maps public identifiers to system names. The shelf item's keys are the public identifiers, and the item's stream value is the corresponding system name. The shelf's items are set via the library rule or the "-library" command-line option. This shelf is used by OmniMark's built-in entity manager.

An OmniMark program can add to, delete, or modify these values, as needed, with the following restrictions:

• there are no external-text-entity rules and an external reference entity is encountered.
• the "p" or "ep" modifiers are used with "%q" format in an external-data-entity or external-text-entity rule.

The default "current-item" is the last item on the shelf, as in programmer-defined shelves.
