Does XML::Smart::DTD not understand ENTITIES?

loris has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello DTD-Devotees,

Is it correct that the function get_attrs in XML::Smart::DTD does not recognise attributes that have been defined via ENTITY-declarations? Or am I being dopey?

Thanks

loris

Do you have XML::Parser installed? If not XML::Smart will use its own parser, that doesn't seem to parse DTDs (from the doc: `XML::Smart::Parser can only handle basic XML data (not supported PCDATA, and any header like: ENTITY, NOTATION, etc...)`.	[reply]

Thanks for bringing the documentation to my attention. I do have XML::Parser installed, although I am actually using XML::LibXML to do my parsing. However, even if I do `my $dtd = XML::Smart::DTD->new($dtdName,'XML::Parser');` I still have the same problem. Any ideas what could be causing this? loris	[reply] [d/l]

Have you tried to test it?	[reply]

Yes. A DTD without entities worked, whereas one with entities did not. I suppose the question should really be: Is this a bug and, if so, is there any way of working around the problem? loris	[reply]
