Excerpts of http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/detailed_features.html#nonfeatures --- XXE cannot be used to edit the physical structure of an XML document (entities, CDATA sections, marked sections). A well-formed XML document making use of these features can, of course, be loaded into XXE but as soon as the document is loaded, these constructs are expanded and forgotten. Note that this limitation is not as severe as it seems because * XXE supports the authoring of modular documents; * when needed and when possible, XXE saves characters as references to character entities; * XXE can be configured to save specific elements (example: XHTML script) as CDATA sections. --- In a nutshell, please read http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html#id.s2 to see if you can live with the limitations of XXE.
