Hi,

In the example below I am losing the XHTML character entities.  How d=
o I
avoid this?
I've also posted to the ng - apologies to people seeing this same que=
stion
twice.

Input file:
<html>
  <head>
    <link type=3D"text/css" rel=3D"stylesheet" href=3D"basic.css" />
    <title>Index</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <h1>=A1Hola!</h1>
<a href=3D"init">initialisaci&oacute;n</a>
  </body>
</html>

And when this is processed, I see (note that the SGML entity &lt; doe=
s
appear, but oacute and iexcl don't):
