I need to explain entities for others, and got stuck in the terminology. An internal entity is a macro, while an external entity is a file. This is a bit confusing, and leads to the question: what do you call a certain macro declared in an external entity? For example, let's say this is the file hebrew.ent: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!ENTITY alef "א"> ... And here's the document entity mydoc.xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE doc [ <!ENTITY hebrew SYSTEM "hebrew.ent"> ]> ... What kind of entity is "alef"? I know it's a general entity, but that's not precice enough, and "external general entity" is the whole file. Gustaf
