[Fwd: Creating entities with XSL 19990813]

[Miloslav Nic <nicmila@xxxxxxxx>]

Forwarded question appeared on xml-l.
How to output e.g. &nbsp; with <xml:output method="xml">

I posted a solution for <xml:output method="html">:
http://zvon.vscht.cz/HTMLonly/XSLTutorial/Books/Book1/index.html
example 80.

You cannot dirrectly try &nbsp; , as XSL is XML and so all entities must
be declared, but I did not figured out how to declare entities for xsl
stylesheet. My attempts with 
<!DOCTYPE ...   failed.

OK. This certainly looks promising. Can anyone tell me how
I might then produce &foobar; in my output document? There
must surely be a way to do this in XSL regardless of the
output method used.

Thanks
