Hi Joep,
according to the MSDN Lib the '·' has the value of '·'; in the
Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) character set, and there is no character at '•'.
Furthermore you cannot use the entity middot as it is not declared within
your DTD. If you like to use it, you'd have to include the following at the
start of your XML file, I assume you already use a DTD:
<!DOCTYPE MyRootElement SYSTEM "MyRootElement.dtd" [
<!Entity middot "·">
]>
After this you should be able to use '·'.
I hope that solves your poblems.
Axel
