Why SAXON doesn't recognize some HTML entities like &fnof, &circ ? My big documents are many occurrences of these entities and I can't modify them (jsute with writng a programm that manipulate text or binary files). How can we force SAXON to ignore that ? Or how can we correct that ? Thank you for any answer.

In XML, the only entities that are recognized are those that are defined in your DTD. This is a question about the XML specification and XML parsers, it has nothing directly to do with Saxon. There are DTD files (somewhere, I'm afraid I don't know where) that you can include in your DTD to declare these entities. Michael Kay
