And it, of course, also works in XHTML 1.0, XHTML 1.1 and XHTML Basic 1.0 - but not plain XML because in plain the only predefined Entities are gt, lt, amp, quot and apos. There's a big number of such predefined entities giving character entities a more sounding name. This list can be found at: XHTML newer than XHTML 1.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/dtd_module_defs.html#a_xhtml_chara cter_entities XHTML 1.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#dtds (Entity Sets) HTML 4.01 http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html Greetings Christian
