[Expat-discuss] undefined entity - how can i fix it ?

[Golibasku]

Are you sure ? all the RSS in the Internet don't have DTD declared in the 
xml file (internal / external). But all the xml parser (of course the parser 
don't have critical bugs) can parse them without error. I think well-formed 
XML document doesn't need to have a DTD. A "VALID" XML document need to have 
DTD.

But anyway, I am not a student or teacher. I am not teaching XML 101. That's 
why I don't want to argue on the definition problem. I only need to write a 
program to parse the xml file. Is there any example in expat which show how 
to parse such XML document.?
