Entities question

[kb...@informatica.com]

I have a strange problem. Currently most of our data is organized in
attributes. Unfortunately 
some of the attribute data has new lines. The XML recommendation asks the
parser to strip this whitespace. I would actually need to retain it. I was
wondering if I could have a external entity
say &myline; to replace these lines by using a entity resolver.
Any recommendations would be helpful.
