This table lists the few pre-defined entities in XML. It is a common misconception that XML has the same entities pre-defined as HTML. On the contrary, you have to explicitly include entity definitions for anything but the five entities listed below, for instance the XHTML characters.
| Entity | Char | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-defined XML entities | |||
| < | < | less-than sign | |
| > | > | greater-than sign | |
| " | " | double quotation mark | |
| &apos | ' | apostrophe | |
| & | & | ampersand | |
