I understand exactly what you want, and at present in XSLT you can't have it, because the processing model is that entity references are expanded before the source tree is built, so they aren't visible as an input to the transformation. And because the tree model is symmetric, entities cannot be placed on the result tree either.

But I want to use the xml output. Whether you get entity references or not in HTML output is entirely at the discretion of the XSLT processor. However, they won't be directly related to any use of entities in the source file. For example ' may become ' and ' may become '. In Saxon 5.2, I generate entity references in HTML output for characters in the range 160 to 255. This is very arbitrary but it seems to keep a lot of people (especially Western Europeans) content. > > Is there a way to solve this without declaring entities like <!ENTITY > eacute "é">? Declaring entities doesn't make any difference, I'm afraid. The XSLT processor won't see them. Regards, Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
