& XSLT Hi all,

My application needs to validate xml files used in our data transfer process.
In our dtds we have lots of entities such as...

<!ENTITY pti08_4 "domestic scheduled flight"> 

I need to preserve these entities for insertion into a database and for later
xml creation.

setting $parser-> expand_entities(0); has no effect on methods such as
getAttribute() - this will always returns the expanded text regardless of the
expand_entities setting.

dumping out the doc/element with toString() shows the entities in the document
being expanded or left alone correctly as per the expand_entities setting.

Can anyone confirm if this is the expected behaviour of expand_entities?

Is there a best practice way to pull the unexpanded entities out?

I'm using libxml2 v2.6.23 and XML::LibXML 1.58_1


Many thanks!

Kevin
