Public DTD entity files

[elliottmina]

I am creating an atom feed, and I am confused about including external entity files as DTDs. My goal is to include the entity definitions in my xml as external files instead of putting the definitions inline.

At the top of my document I have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE atom [
<!ENTITY % xhtml-lat1 PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent"[/URL] > 
%xhtml-lat1;
]>

Further down in the file I have:

<atom:title>Fa&ccedil;on</atom:title>

The xml is choking on the ç, presumably because it isn't reading in the ent file.

TIA

ps: I am not sure to your mind, DOCTYPE [blue]atom[/blue] has any relevance as of any relation to [blue]atom[/blue]:title. If you think there is some relation, then I would say no. In any case, I am not in a position to extrapolate.
