I just got 2008 Enterprise and decided to go thru the tutorials. When I
was doing the bookstore - create a style sheet from an xml document, I got to the point where they said to put a non-breaking space   between the two 'value-of select="" ' author names in the author template:

<xsl:template match="author">
<xsl:value-of select="first-name"/>
 
<xsl:value-of select="last-name"/>
</xsl:template>

This generates an XML parser error "The entity nbsp was referenced but not declared" using Saxxon9 & MSXML. It works and renders the html when I substitute a "<". Any explanations will be greatly appreciated

Could you tell us exactly which tutorial and about where
in it you saw that?

XML doesn't define   but only < > " ' and &.
  is from HTML. You can use   instead of   though.

declared in a doctype:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nbsp " ">
]>

which I saw in another screenshot in the xslt doc.
That did the trick!
