It's almost always a bad idea to suggest to someone that they use
disable-output-escaping.

There is no need here in the HTML output method, most processors will
output the character as an entity automatically without you needing to
do any entity definitions or d-o-e in the stylesheet.

  Then setup characters.ent...

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <!-- latin capital letter E with grave, U+00C8 ISOlat1 &#201; -->
  <!ENTITY eacute "&eacute;">

That would be a very dangerous file. It could be considered a denial of
service attack: It will put any XML parser into an infinite loop if it
ever finds an instance of &eacute;.
