If there is an external dtd that hasn't been read then an application can (if it wants) trap the undefined entity and do something with it (as the document as a whole is still well formed) but if (as in this case) there is no DOCTYPE but there is an entity reference then the document is not well formed and while it would no doubt be technically possible to trap the entity references I believe it would not be conformant with the XML recommendation http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-fatal > Once a fatal error is detected, however, the processor MUST NOT > continue normal processing (i.e., it MUST NOT continue to pass > character data and information about the document's logical structure > to the application in the normal way).] David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
