I am having difficulties trying to parse entity references in an xml file.

You are making reference in your entity declaration to an unparsed entity, which in fact makes sense since the entity is a TIFF file:

Here is the sample input:


<tag>

Please refer to <ref gref="g1"/> for detailed instructions

</tag>
The XML is far more complicated than this, so I just pasted a snippet
only. BAsically, in my XSLT style sheet, how do I parse the <ref
gref="g1"/> ?

The function unparsed-entity-uri() will give you:

/absolute/path/to/28245.tif

.... based on the base uri of the declaration of the entity.

See the following for details:

file:///Z:/data/docs/w3c/UserInterface/Stylesheets/xsl/xslt2/REC-xslt20-20070123.htm#unparsed-entity-uri

I hope this helps.
