unsupported characters in Xerces
Hello,
Kinda of a newbie here...
OK, here's the story. I've got an XML document with the bullet character
"·" (Microsoft?). I try running it rhough the DOMParser and it gives
me a run-time error saying I must have a </blah> tag here...yada yada. I know
(from testing) that this character is breaking the parser.
Is there any way to solve this? Can Xerces be set so it ignores unknown
characters, or can the parser have different character sets loaded?
Thanks,
Ryan

If this entity is not defined in some way (<!ENTITY middot "·") why
should a parser know what this entity stand for?
