Using Entity References in XSL Templates

[Theodore Epstein <Ted.Epstein@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with entity references in my XSL templates.  The
entity is defined in the DTD specified in the <xsl:output> tag.  (As it
happens, the output DTD is XHTML, and the entity reference is to &nbsp;
but my question applies to entity references in general.)  But I get a
"reference to undefined entity" error message from the XSL processor.
(I've tried XT, MSXML, and Stylus.)

I know that I can define the entity at the top of the stylesheet, like
this:

    <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
    <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
    ]>

But then the stylesheet processor resolves the entity reference, which
isn't what I want.  I want the entity reference to be *passed through*
to the output, which I can't seem to do.  Am I missing something?

Thanks,

 - Ted Epstein
