simple xml doctype
Just make the Document type to be of "DOCUMENT". It will work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE DOCUMENT [
<!ELEMENT DOCUMENT (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST DOCUMENT
  trackNum CDATA #REQUIRED
  secLevel (unclassified|classified)
"unclassified">
<!ENTITY Description "this is a very simple sample document.">
]>
<DOCUMENT trackNum="1234">This is an entity inside an element:
&Description;</DOCUMENT>

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
One more clarification. When the above XML file is compiled using MSXML,
in the output the parser does not substitute the contents of the Entity
&Description;. Why it so? Is it a bug in MSXML parser or is there any
error in ENTITIY declaration

Thank you

K. Usha Rani
