Using " instead of a single " character just makes the source code bigger and less readable. It's certainly not best practice, not even good practice. There is only one case where the character entity " is required : within an attribute value whose delimiters are the " character. But don't worry, in that case Amaya generates the character entity, even if you type the " character when entring the attribute value. Vincent.
