Re: [xslt] entity substitution... broken?

[Michael Rothwell <rothwell holly-springs nc us>]

Actually, I wasn't expecting the HTML serializer to have access to 
entities defined in the template, only for the template to have access 
to the entities defined in the template. Turns out, this fixed my 
problem:

ctxt->replaceEntities = 1;

The earlier versions of the libraries didn't require this.

I guess I wasn't clear enough in my statement of the issue, as you 
addressed an issue that I'm not having in your reply. I know that I 
"cannot expect this to work," and don't.

Thanks,

Michael
