So even though declared as a datatype for XML Schema, they require a DTD. Without a DTD, they cannot be used. Is that it? Doesn't that sort of mean DTDs are forever? Len http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta. Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Eric van der Vlist [mailto:vdv@d...] They are therefore as good for W3C XML Schema as unparsed entities are for DTDs :=) ... Personally I have never seen them used except in Simon St.Laurent "elements of style" (a book that I recommend not only for this example ;=) ) where he gives the following example that could be used with a W3C XML Schema defining that the content attribute has a type "ENTITY": <!DOCTYPE unparsed_image SYSTEM "unparsed_image.dtd" [ <!ENTITY myGif "mygif.gif" NDATA image_gif> ]> <unparsed_image content="myGif"/> Hope this helps.
