 | Does Opera support external entities for XHTML documents?
If so, can you please point me to a working example.
Internal entities seem to be working fine.
Thanks,

Example URL? Opera XML uses a non-validating parser, so it doesn't
retrieve external DTDs.

I'm not trying to use a different DTD.
I'm just trying to break up a document.
As for internal entities: just try it.
(But I'll attach an example.)

Yes, this works. Defining the entities outside the document (only possible
with an external DTD, right?) is not supported.
Opera only treats a document as an XML document when it is saved locally
as .xml or .xhtml, and when send online with an appropriate xml-ish Mime
type. You really don't want Opera to parse the normal HTML tagsoup it
receives with an XML-parser, because it will have to stop parsing at the
first error it finds.

This looks like a difference in terminology between us.
What I want to do is declare an entity in the *internal* subset,
just like in the example, but where the replacement text
is in a separate file. Say the replacement text is in test.xml.
Then I want to do something like below. That I think is the
standard usage since say 1998
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/08/xmlqna2.html#ENTDECL
As I understand it, the file should be able to contain marked
up text without xml prologue etc, but I cannot get it to work
in any fashion.
Thanks,
