<?xml version ="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE stylesheet [ <!ENTITY ntilde "<xsl:text disable-output-escaping>&ntilde;</xsl:text>"> ]> <xsl:stylesheet . . .
<?xml version ="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE stylesheet [ <!ENTITY #8226 "<xsl:text disable-output-escaping>&8226;</xsl:text>"> ]> <xsl:stylesheet . . .
Why doesn't this XML content: &#8226; produce this output: •
Why do you think it should? The first is 6 characters in the stylesheet. 6 non white space characters in character data always just produce 6 characters in the output. Your required output is one character reference. To get that character put • into the stylesheet.
It's bloody nigh impossible to get my XML parser (Xalan-Java) NOT to recognize entities except for this one case where recognizing it
It does recognise it. & means an ampersand as character not as markup, so that's what appears in the result tree. But that ampersamd character in teh result tree has to be linearised as & otherwise parsing teh result wouldn't reproduce that character.
You haven't said why you think just putting • into the stylesheet does not work.
