I need to be able to reference named HTML entities like •
instead of the Unicode alternative •
in an XML document. I have control over some parts of the XML document, such as defining the DOCTYPE
, but doing a find-and-replace in the actual XML is not an option. I can get some elements like
and &
by including the XHTML transitional DOCTYPE, but I need to define more manually. How do I do this?
-- EDIT --
Thanks to Jim's answer, here's what I ended up with. This is great because I can utilize the XHTML transitional entities, and also add my own:
<!DOCTYPE
html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
[
<!ENTITY bull "•">
<!ENTITY ldquo "“">
<!ENTITY rdquo "”">
... etc ...
]
