} xmlAutomata;

Typedef xmlAutomataPtr

to:the target point of the transition or NULL

xmlAutomataStatePtr	xmlAutomataNewCounterTrans	(xmlAutomataPtr am, 
							 xmlAutomataStatePtr from, 
							 xmlAutomataStatePtr to, 
							 int counter)

If @to is NULL, this creates first a new target state in the automata and then adds an epsilon transition from the @from state to the target state which will be allowed only if the counter is within the right range.

am:an automata
from:the starting point of the transition
to:the target point of the transition or NULL
counter:the counter associated to that transition
Returns:the target state or NULL in case of error

xmlAutomataNewEpsilon ()

xmlAutomataStatePtr	xmlAutomataNewEpsilon	(xmlAutomataPtr am, 
						 xmlAutomataStatePtr from,

						 xmlAutomataStatePtr from, 
						 xmlAutomataStatePtr to, 
						 const xmlChar * token, 
						 const xmlChar * token2, 
						 void * data)

If @to is NULL, this creates first a new target state in the automata and then adds a transition from the @from state to the target state activated by any value except (@token,@token2) Note that if @token2 is not NULL, then (X, NULL) won't match to follow # the semantic of XSD ##other
