I'm encoding a doc against TEI P5. Is it possible to define and use more entities than those available in the entities menu. I need it to insert special charactes.
thank you

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This shouldn't be a problem. On Windows, you could add the entities to <C:\Program Files\XML Copy Editor\dtd\tei\p5\tei_all.dtd>. You could copy them across from the p4 DTD, for example.
On Linux, check /etc/xml/catalog to find the DTD and add the entities there.
(P5 tends to ship as a schema rather than a DTD, but there are sure to be some DTDs you could use.)
If this doesn't help, please give me a shout.

Hi
thank for your answer. I tried to insert in tei-all.dtd the following declaration
<!ENTITY sup-a SYSTEM "sup-a">
(it is just a test)
but it seems, that it doesn't work. I can't validate the doc if I insert in a paragraph &sup-a;
