Abhi,

A couple of refinements to Andreas' advice (which is
correct, in the main)

At 12:22 PM 10/17/2003, he wrote:
Two possible solutions:

- use the corresponding Unicode codepoint value (
e.g. " ) everywhere
instead of &ldquo;

The correct character reference is to ? for
the left double quote 
mark (assuming you want the ISO-standard ldquo
character).

- define an entity &ldquo; in an external DTD that
maps to this value

To be explicit, the declaration will look like

<!ENTITY ldquo  "?" ><!--=double quotation
mark, left-->

and I bet if you have ldquo you'll also need

<!ENTITY rdquo  "?" ><!--=double quotation
mark, right-->

and maybe some others.

These declarations can be in either an internal or
an external DTD subset 
of your document. Probably what's happening in your
case is that the 
reference to an external DTD has been removed, or
the parser is not parsing it.

This is not an XSL question: you'll find more
guidance in a reference on 
XML syntax.

Cheers,
Wendell
