Hello,

My letter wasn't clear enough, I think. I would like to do the
following:

1. From source:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE articles [
	<!ENTITY % characters SYSTEM "entities/chars.ent">
	%characters;
]>
<articles date="2000-02-22">
<article>
	<title>Blah blah blah &eacute; bla &odblac; ...</title>
	<body>Blah again and again and &bdquo; &myentity;</body>
</article>
</articles>

2. With an XSLT transformation

3. get the following :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE daily [
	<!ENTITY % characters SYSTEM "entities/chars.ent">
	%characters;
]>
<daily date="2000-02-22">
<article2>
	<title2>Blah blah blah &eacute; bla &odblac; ...</title2>
	<body2>Blah again and again and &bdquo; &myentity;</body2>
</article2>
</daily>


So, I'd like to have entities in output.
------------------------------

When I use the <xsl:output method="html"/> then some entities are good
some are not. But I want to use the xml output.

Is there a way to solve this without declaring entities like <!ENTITY
eacute "&eacute;">?

I think <xsl:text disable-output-escaping> isn't the solution, because
I'd need something like:
<xsl:text><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:text>, which isn
't correct.

Regards,

zsolt
