Hi Chris,


Thanks for the feedback. That makes sense that Petal would only work
with XML entities (seems like I remember JM saying as much in a previous
message). However, it must be doing something with these other entites
that it doesn't understand (like  ). It seems to me that 2.0
simply removes the entity; however, Petal::Parser::HTB is converting it
to another element. I'd prefer the former but consider both a bug since
Petal isn't honoring the DTD that I've defined for my templates.

I wasn't but using it doesn't help. xmllint still complains about the
nbsp entity and then throws errors for all of my Petal tags :(.

Thanks!
William
