Re: Suppressing XML::LibXML External Parameter Entity Expansion

Sounds like you should replace

<!DOCTYPE student [
  <!ENTITY % student SYSTEM "http://www.university.com/student.dtd">
  %student;
]>
[download]

with

<!DOCTYPE student
     SYSTEM "http://www.university.com/student.dtd">
[download]

I am [already] turning off the expand_entities option, and it works throughout the rest of the document

And you might want to place a bug report.

A co-worker pointed out that the XML example that I used was not the best. It is not actually the DTD that is being included as an entity, but rather an external entity file. Here is a better example of the XML: `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE studentPackage [ <!ENTITY % StudentEntities PUBLIC "ISO 9999-9999//ENTITIES Student C +haracter Entities 20100330//EN//XML" "http://www.student.org/Student_ +1-0/ent/StudentEntities"> %StudentEntities; ]>` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
