+LexicalHandler Objects
+----------------------
+Optional SAX2 handler for lexical events.
+
+This handler is used to obtain Lexical information about an XML
+document. Lexical information includes information describing the
+document encoding used, XML comments embedded in the document as
+well as section boundaries for the DTD and for any CDATA sections.
+The lexical handlers are used in the same manner as content handlers.
+
+Set the LexicalHandler of an XMLReader by using the setProperty method
+with the property identifier
+'http://xml.org/sax/handlers/LexicalHandler'.
+
+
+.. method:: LexicalHandler.xmlDecl(version, encoding, standalone)
+
+ Reports an XML declaration or the default values used if no XML
+ declaration was provided.
+
+.. method:: LexicalHandler.comment(content)
+
+ Reports a comment anywhere in the document (including the DTD and
+ outside the document element).
+
+.. method:: LexicalHandler.startDTD(name, public_id, system_id)
+
+ Reports the start of the DTD declarations if the document has an
+ associated DTD.
+
+.. method:: LexicalHandler.endDTD()
+
+ Reports the end of DTD declaration.
+
+.. method:: LexicalHandler.startCDATA()
+
+ Reports the start of a CDATA marked section.
+
+ The contents of the CDATA marked section will be reported through
+ the characters handler.
+
+.. method:: LexicalHandler.endCDATA()
+
+ Reports the end of a CDATA marked section.
