# Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

`LIBXML_BIGLINES` (int)
  Allows line numbers greater than 65535 to be reported correctly.

  > Note:

  > Only available as of PHP 7.0.0 with Libxml >= 2.9.0

`LIBXML_COMPACT` (int)
  Activate small nodes allocation optimization. This may speed up your application without needing to change the code.

`LIBXML_DTDATTR` (int)
  Default DTD attributes

  Sets HTML_PARSE_NOIMPLIED flag, which turns off the automatic adding of implied html/body... elements.

  > Note:

  > Only available in Libxml >= 2.7.7 (as of PHP >= 5.4.0)

`LIBXML_NOBLANKS` (int)
  Remove blank nodes

`LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG` (int)
  Expand empty tags (e.g. `<br/>` to `<br></br>`)

  > Note:

  > This option is currently just available in the DOMDocument::save and DOMDocument::saveXML functions.

`LIBXML_NOENT` (int)
  Substitute entities
