another questions on XML import

[Wim Hooghwinkel (Scriptware)]

Hello Lynn,

Could the 'Entity Locations' (element < Entities>) in the Structapps file be used to point to the Public entity files?

Or in stead of defining separate entitys, use general pointer in the DTD, like

<!ENTITY  % ISOlat2             PUBLIC
"ISO 8879-1986//ENTITIES Added Latin 2//EN"         >

My problem is that I working with 'legacy' XML files that sre created by different resources. Sometimes escape sequences are used for characters (like ⟨). I don't want to make separate entrys for each occurence as long as they are following the (XML)standards.


Met vriendelijke groet / kind regards,

Wim,
   You must declare the entity in the DTD as well as supporting it with a 
read/write rule:

      <!ENTITY lang "[">

Furthermore, the name of the entity is "lang"; the leading & and closing ; 
delimit the entity reference from surrounding text. Therefore, the r/w rule 
you need is:

      entity "lang" is fm char "[";

Hope this helps,

         --Lynne
