xsl entity reference
     If I have a entity definition &n; in DTD. Can I get
    the value of it in XSLT stylesheet ..?


As Mike said (and you must surely see when you run any example) you
_only_ have access to the value: All entity references are replaced by
the entities they reference by an XML parser before XSLT starts.
So if you define the entity n to be abc
<x>&n;</x> appears to xslt as <x>abc</x>.

If the entity is defined but not used then you have no access to it from XSLT.
