> How do i know which entities are declared by default and which not? XML has 5 predecared entities (just for characters used in xml syntax) amp lt gt quot apos so if it's one of those, it's declared, otherwise it isn't. > How can i declare an entity of my own? you write a DTD and use an <!ENTITY declaration. But you don't want to do this. Entities are expanded by the parser _before_ XSLT starts, so XSLT sees the same input whether you use the entity reference, or just use the character directly, or if you use a numeric character reference (which doesn't need to be declared). So if your keyboard or editor allows you just to type a c-cedila character then you can just do that (if your editor uses iso-8859-1 you'd need to say your xsl file was in that encoding by putting <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> at the top, or you can use the numeric reference & # x e 7 ; David
