There seems to be a few possibilities here. One is that the XML output uses
a DTD (internal or external) and you wish to output an entity reference in
the output. i.e. the output contains a DOCTYPE and an entity reference to an
entity defined in this DOCTYPE.
Another option could be that the Jelly script itself uses a DOCTYPE and an
entity reference, which is then expanded so that the output does not require
a DOCTYPE.
Finally using Jelly variables is kinda an alternative to entities - 'macros'
can be defined using Jelly variables & expressions.
I'm thinking in this case the former is probably whats required. So Martin's
suggestion of a new tag to output an entity reference...
<xml:entity name="copy"/>
which under the covers would call
XMLOutput.startEntity( "copy" );
XMLOutput.endEntity( "copy" );
sounds a reasonable approach.
As Incze says, this would normally generate badly formed XML, unless the
output also contains a DOCTYPE declaration which includes the 'copy' entity.
