The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared

Question

I have written one XSLT to transform xml to xml.

Input XML:

<test>The Spanish word for "Spain" is "Espa&nbsp;a" Dagon his Name, Sea Monster</test>

OutputXML:

<test>The Spanish word for "Spain" is "Espa a" Dagon his Name, Sea Monster</test>

XSL FILE: i have added the code for entity nbsp declaration under doctype at and replace with   entity but still are same error The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.

<xsl:template match="test">
<test>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</test>

Solution

You need to have the input declare the entities it uses, as done in http://xsltransform.net/gVhD8QR with e.g.

<!DOCTYPE test [
  <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
]>
<test>The Spanish word for "Spain" is "Espa&nbsp;a" Dagon his Name, Sea Monster</test>

Note that the Spanish word for "Spain" is "España" however, so the example entity used there does not make sense there anyway.

If you want to parse the input with an XML parser (and any XSLT processor normally uses an XML parser to parse the input document(s)) then the input itself needs to declare that entity in a DTD.

@Umaima, no, sorry, if StackOverflow doesn't work for you I can't help. There are certainly people doing freelance or contract work in the area of XSLT, if that is an option look for sides where you can post a work description and find people able and willing to do the work.
