In article <3.0.6.32.20031106010629.00b609e0@p...> you write: ><?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. The XML spec itself doesn't provide a precise term for this, though it does use the term "external markup declarations" for declarations in the external subset(s). I would call it an externally-declared internal entity. You can add "general" and "parsed" to that if you want to be especially verbose. -- Richard
