[lxml-dev] Named entities ignored

3 Aug 2005


      Are named entities ignored by lxml? Even with a suitable DTD declared,
the following program does not output the copyright sign; it does,
however, if it's provided as a numeric entity.

****
from lxml import etree
from StringIO import StringIO
import sys

source = """\
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<p>©2005</p>
</html>
"""

infile = StringIO(source)
tree = etree.parse(infile)
tree.write(sys.stdout)
