Well, contetx is not xslt at all; but, even if so, then how would you
typeset & ?
Anyhow, you want a hack? First change this in xtag-ini:
\gdef\xdoXMLentity#1;%
{\ifXMLrawentities
\expandafter\firstofoneargument
\else
\expandafter\executeXMLentity
\fi{#1}}
Now you can say:
\defineXMLentity[amp] {\FunnyAmp}
\def\FunnyAmp#1;{\getXMLentity{#1}}
\defineXMLentity [pound] {(why not use euro's?)}
And here we go:
\startXMLdata
test &pound; test
\stopXMLdata
Now, is this a hack or not?
Hans
