+<h3>Configuring Expat Using the Pre-Processor</h3>
+
+<p>Expat's feature set can be configured using a small number of
+pre-processor definitions. The definition of this symbols does not
+affect the set of entry points for Expat, only the behavior of the API
+and the definition of character types in the case of
+<code>XML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T</code>. The symbols are:</p>
+
+<dl class="cpp-symbols">
+<dt>XML_DTD</dt>
+<dd>Include support for using and reporting DTD-based content. If
+this is defined, default attribute values from the DTD are reported
+and attribute value normalization occurs based on the type of
+attributes. Callbacks can be registered which report information from
+the DTD (including content models and attribute definitions) only if
+this is defined. Without this, Expat has a smaller memory footprint
+and can be faster.</dd>
+
+<dt>XML_NS</dt>
+<dd>When defined, support for the <cite><a href=
+"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/" >Namespaces in XML</a></cite>
+specification is included.</dd>
+
+<dt>XML_UNICODE</dt>
+<dd>When defined, character data reported to the application is
+encoded in UTF-16 using wide characters of the type
+<code>XML_Char</code>. This is implied if
+<code>XML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T</code> is defined.</dt>
+
+<dt>XML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T</dt>
+<dd>If defined, causes the <code>XML_Char</code> character type to be
+defined using the <code>wchar_t</code> type; otherwise, <code>unsigned
+short</code> is used. Defining this implies
+<code>XML_UNICODE</code>.</dd>
+
+<dt>XML_CONTEXT_BYTES</dt>
+<dd>The number of input bytes of markup context which the parser will
+ensure are available for reporting via <code><a href=
+"#XML_GetInputContext" >XML_GetInputContext</a></code>. This is
+normally set to 1024. If this is not defined, the input context will
+not be available and <code><a href= "#XML_GetInputContext"
+>XML_GetInputContext</a></code> will always report NULL. Without
+this, Expat has a smaller memory footprint and can be faster.</dd>
+
+<dt>XML_STATIC</dt>
+<dd>On Windows, this should be set if Expat is going to be linked
+statically with the code that calls it; this is required to get all
+the right MSVC magic annotations correct. This is ignored on other
+platforms.</dd>
