XSLT doesnt define
But since an XSLT stylesheet is just an XML document it is not uncommon to
add entity declarations to the start of the stylesheet:
<!ENTITY nbsp " ">
agreed ... you can do that way..in which case its not required that it be
"nbsp".
That is no different than <xsl:text> </xsl:text> except that your example
is not well-formed because of the missing reference-end delimiter ";".
Yeah!! Sorry about the missing ';'

you cant do this in XSL.. XSL doesnt define that entity reference..
But since an XSLT stylesheet is just an XML document it is not uncommon to
add entity declarations to the start of the stylesheet:
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet
[
<!ENTITY nbsp " ">
<!ENTITY copy "©">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; ...
Then you can use in your stylesheet. The other declaration above
is
for the copyright symbol. The example is excerpted from our training
material stylesheets.
you may want to use <xsl:text> </xsl:text> to output space.
That is no different than <xsl:text> </xsl:text> except that your example
is not well-formed because of the missing reference-end delimiter ";".
I hope this is helpful.
