Dan,

I have tried the following combinations:

xml file:

<!DOCTYPE holdspace[<!ENTITY nbsp "&nbsp ;">]> <--no spaces &nbsp;
when I view this xml file I see <OBJECT>&nbsp;</OBJECT>

my transform I have tried with both declaring this holdspace and not. 
The resulting output from my transform removes the &nbsp; between my 
OBJECT tags. I want to keep the &nbsp; in my output between my OBJECT 
tag so when I open this output file I see <OBJECT>&nbsp;</OBJECT>
How do I accomplish this in my stylesheet?

Sincerely,

Scott
