Description
When using fast-xml-parser in a browser and loading it as an esm module, when trying to parse an xml file that has a DOCTYPE with an entity in it, the DocTypeReader throws the reference error "entityName is not defined".
This can be recreated simply by adding "use strict"; to the top of the src/xmlparser/DocTypeReader.js file and running the projects unit tests. 5 tests will fail with the exact same error. VS Code will also highlight the problem variables.
The simple fix is to simply add let entityName, val; at line 23 of DocTypeReader.js
Input
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE note [
<!ENTITY nbsp " ">
<!ENTITY writer "Writer: Donald Duck.">
<!ENTITY copyright "Copyright: W3Schools.">
]>

</note> Code
const { XMLParser } = require('fast-xml-parser')
const options = {
processEntities: true
}
// The following line will raise an error if run in strict mode
const result = new XMLParser(options)Output
There should be no error and the entity should be processed correctly.
