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.

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 Lynne A. Price Text Structure Consulting, Inc.
