Error in entities

[Bob (archive)]

I use saxon transformer as XSLT engine, but I have a problem:

---
Error reported by XML parser: reference to entity "&{0};" not defined.
----

In the source document there are many entites (like &Ouml that the parser doesn't recognize.

Why? The document is malformed? Can I configure the parser to ignore unknown entities?

In the source document there are many entites (like &Ouml that the parser doesn't recognize.

If there is not a <!DOCTYPE declaration at the top of your source file pointing at a dedinition of those entities then your input is not well formed and will generate an error with any XML parser. XML only has five predefined entity names (apos, quot, lt, gt, amp)
