[TYPO3-dev] PHP5 xmlReader and entities

Wed Jul 4 20:04:57 CEST 2007

Hey Elmar,

I found this answer on teh net. I didn't try it myself:
Would this give you a push into the right direction?

======================================
As many of you may have noticed, DOM parser gives errors if the  
'&nbsp;' entity is present. The E_WARN message looks like:

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [function.load]: Entity 'nbsp' not  
defined in ...

There're many ways to solve this:
a) The hard way
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> &amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>

b) Defining &nbsp;
At the top of the document, after the <?xml?> definition, add:
    <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
     <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;" >
     ]>

c) External Doctype
Just in case you want need other HTML entities, you can call an  
external doctype with the proper definitions

<!DOCTYPE page SYSTEM "http://gv.ca/dtd/character-entities.dtd">

Of course, you can download the file and place it in your server.
======================================
