I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "illegal characters"; if you mean control characters, you'll need to come up with a representation that doesn't use entities. On the other hand, if you have a custom list of characters you want converted to entities or back again, my Ents project may be a helpful foundation: http://simonstl.com/projects/ents I was thinking in terms of documents, not strings, but the logic in EntsRefsFilter shouldn't be that hard to reapply from a Reader to a String. I'll be revising and expanding Ents heavily this summer, so let me know about changes or improvements you'd like to see. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com -- http://monasticxml.org
