Why doesn Cocoon recognise HTML entities like ?
In HTML documents a large set of entities are implicitly defined, but in XML documents only a few are defined. So you must either use the numerical character codes, or declare the entities explicitly. A limited list is supplied in xdocs/dtd/characters.ent. For example, one way to write a non-breaking space is to write – just won’t work, unless you explicitly define . Anyway this is a basic XML question, so please don’t ask on cocoon-users about it!
