I am not sure, if XIncludes are resolved correctly inside a XSLT stylesheet. Even if they are resolved it can not work as your entity definitions are not well-formed XML. > The compiler says that the entity is not defined. Is there > any way to process entities inside XSL? Use the following steps: 1. Modify your stylesheet and insert the following DOCTYPE declaration: -----------[ customization.xsl ]------------------- <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!-- Point to the correct path: --> <!ENTITY % ents SYSTEM "definitions.ent"> %ents; ]> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <!-- Insert your templates here --> </xsl:stylesheet> --------------------------------------------------- 2. Write a file "myentities.ent" with the following content (you did that already): ---------------------[ definitions.ent ]------------ <!ENTITY j_copyright "This work is copyright of..."> --------------------------------------------------- Insert only text inside the j_copyright entity. Any decent XSLT processor should be able to resolve your entities. Hope this helps, Tom -- Thomas Schraitle
