[Leonard R. Kasday] >Thank you <EM> very </EM> much for that explanation. Just one question: >when you say > >>an attribute value of "http://ieee.org/ohm.cgi?volt=3&=5" will be >>interpreted as having a reference to the "amp" entity, and will be resolved >>as "http://ieee.org/ohm.cgi?volt=3&=5", which isn't right. > >You're saying that &=5 is interpreted as &=5 > >Is it really interpreted as &5 > >since the = acts as a terminator and is eaten thereby? I want to make sure >I understand this. No. A semicolon or line-end terminator is eaten. Any other non-name-character ends the entity name but is not considered part of it. <abc -> <abc < abc -> <abc <abc -> [unknown entity reference] (properly) -> <abc (in many browsers, improperly) <=abc -> <=abc -Chris -- Christopher R.
