[XML/DTD] problem with communication between files

Hello. This is my first topic on this forum, so I would like to say hello.

I've got a problem with my XML code. Whenever I want to reference to extrernal data (DTD file or some XML file) - it doesn'w work. For example:

root.xml:<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM"dtd.dtd" [

><!ENTITY someWord SYSTEM"someWord.xml">

]>

<root>

&someWord;

</root>

someWord.xml:<!-- SOME WORD -->

Word

dtd.dtd:<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<!ATTLIST root

attribute CDATA"default"

>

As a result firefox brings me:<root>

<content>

</content>

</root>

so it doesn't respect neither a default value for attribute nor the someWord 'variable'. Where is my mistake?

Greetings

could somebody explain to me why the forum's engine adds the mark ">" to my code in that place (the first mark):

><!ENTITY someWord SYSTEM "someWord.xml">

and whilst editing my post I can't see that mark? I've just started learning XML so it is a very misterious happening for me :D
