[sword-devel] OSIS Glosses?

[DM Smith]

There are 4 standard entities that are predefined for XML. (I used to think that it was 5 with both " and ' being defined.) XML allows decimal entities of the form &#ddd;. Any others need to be defined in a DTD. A schema (an xsd in the case of OSIS) does not allow for the defining of entities. (I’m not familiar with other schemas types.)

Regarding parsing and validator: An xml document may be well-formed, but not valid. The former is the responsibility of the parser. The latter is the responsibility of a validator. A validator takes it’s content from the parser, which may be an in memory tree and compares it to a schema or DTD. What the validator gets, as far as I know, is without entities.
