[Xerte] Having problems with Xerte 2.10 not opening xml file

If you were me, you'd probably put the lookup in the engine, because you
are parsing and executing quite a bit of script each time there - this
will be slower than compiled code. Out of interest, have you timed how
long that script takes to execute?

t = getTimer();

/*
//your code here
*/

debug('it took ' + getTimer() - t + = ' milliseconds');

Maybe it's fast enough?

I use some of them, but not all. It makes it easier to display things
like registered trademark symbols, N-dashes, small arrows, etc. I use
the radical symbol (v) as a checkmark instead of a graphic. Flash can
display these characters, but you have to use the Unicode terms, Flash
doesn't support the HTML entity terms. The entity array just makes it
easier because I'm used to HTML and usually know the HTML term. I have
to look up the Unicode terms.

I'm not sure if it is useful to others or not. It saves me some time.
This is the first time a problem has occurred.
