Well that is just simply a "file not found" error. I cannot reproduce it,
myself. I put the .ent files in the same directory as the stylesheet, and it
worked fine. This is with IE6 / MSXML 3, no special security settings that I
can recall.
MSXML does have a mode where it does not resolve external entities, and
people have problems with this sometimes, but that's not what is happening
here.
I do not recommend using the .ent files with full "http://www.w3.org/..."
references, because in this case, the browser really would go out over the
Internet to fetch the files.
As David Carlisle said, you can do the work manually; just copy the <!ENTITY>
declarations that you need from the files and use them instead of the
parameter entities. Note that standalone="no" is no longer needed if you do it
this way. And it will always work.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY copy "©">
<!ENTITY Delta "Δ">
<!ENTITY dagger "†">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>©</p>
<p>Δ</p>
<p>†</p>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Also, as David said, it's no more difficult to type "©"...
Only use entities if they are really that much more convenient for you.
