Re: parsed entites

I can't see what I'm doing wrong here. I'm using LotusXSL. Internal entities work, but not external entities. Here are the first few lines of my stylesheet:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY header SYSTEM "http://localhost\header.xml">
<!ENTITY yo "Yo!">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0">

And here are the complete contents of header.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
	<B>This is a nifty report. <HR/></B>

I can put the string &yo; in my templates and it copies the text Yo! to the output as expected. But where I put &header; the XSL processor reports an error.

TIA,
Alex
