Hello Roger, Ian is right. I don't want to use the entity in a schema. I want to define it there and use it in the document instance - just like you can define a DTD with this kind of entities and use it in all documents which are valid against that DTD.
Is there really no way? I know that entities are a DTD-specific concept but XMLSchema should replace DTDs, shouldn't? maik Ian Roberts wrote: > On Mon, 9 Jul 2001, Roger L.
