Entity references are used to insert references to entities declared in an XML document type declaration. MSXML will expand all entity references used in a document as it parses them, but applications can insert entity references into document object models intended for export as XML documents.
JScript
The following JScript fragment creates a header element that contains the text Jay Fluegel & Mindy Martin, expressed as "Jay Fluegel ", the entity reference "amp", and " Mindy Martin".
var headerElement=xmlDoc.createElement("header");
var headerStart=xmlDoc.createTextNode("Jay Fluegel ");
var headerMiddle=xmlDoc.createEntityReference("amp");
var headerEnd=xmlDoc.createTextNode(" Mindy Martin");
headerElement.appendChild(headerStart);
headerElement.appendChild(headerMiddle);
headerElement.appendChild(headerEnd);
VBScript
Set headerElement=xmlDoc.createElement("header")
Set headerStart=xmlDoc.createTextNode("Jay Fluegel ")
Set headerMiddle=xmlDoc.createEntityReference("amp")
Set headerEnd=xmlDoc.createTextNode(" Mindy Martin")
headerElement.appendChild(headerStart)
headerElement.appendChild(headerMiddle)
headerElement.appendChild(headerEnd)
