Entities - including a list of them

Because MXP uses the characters:

< , > , and &

as part of its markup scheme it is essential that MUD servers replace those three characters in particular with their equivalent "entity names", namely:

&lt; , &gt; , and &amp;

You can also use any arbitrary ASCII code combination like this: &#225;

The list of predefined entity names is at MXP Entities.

Defining your own entities

You can also define your own entities, like this:

<!ENTITY clan_name "Blood Clan" >

Then you could use this entity in MUD output like this:

You are a member of &clan_name;
