Re: [xml] recursive entities

[Scott Murman <smurman nas nasa gov>]

ok, let's take this further, because i'm definitely not getting the 
right functionality.  i'm using libxml2-2.6.2.  if i use the entity 
defs below, then define an element as

<Foo Name="example">
    <Bar Init="&Height;" />
</Foo>

this will expand so that Init = "2.0 * &Alt;", not Init = "2.0 * 1.0".  
any clues what i'm doing wrong?
