You can do this by using a file with many entity declarations in it. It really isn't an XSL issue. It is to do with core XML. The issue is the same in the input document and the stylesheet. > What entity definitions should I use to keep it simple?

No, you cannot use a syntax that is not legal XML. There is no such thing as a CDATA entity in XML. That isn't what you want anyway. A simple entity declaration will do: <!ENTITY igrave "ì"> Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco "In spite of everything I still believe that people are basically good at heart." - Anne Frank XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
