An external entity reference needs a declaration: <!ENTITY copy SYSTEM "http://blah.blah.blah/blah.xml"> If you want your application to "just know" about some entities which you have failed to define anywhere, I don't think that documents relying on that behavior would even be considered well-formed. How about putting: <!ENTITY copy "&copy"> and the like into your document? >I'm trying to parse and index documents that contain several HTML-style >general entities ("©", "•", etc.), using Expat ("Version >19990307") as the parser.
