# Is there any extra information available from the SGML document?

The `SGMLS` object which you created at the beginning of the parse has several methods available in addition to `next_event` -- you will find them all listed in table 7. There should normally be no need to use the `notation` and `entity` methods, since `SGMLS.pm` will look up entities and notations for you automatically as needed.
