- 3rd3 14y agoNot sure if you could abort an recursion in XML.
- Nitramp 14y agoIf you read the OP carefully, you'll see he's quite aware of the terminology. There really isn't any recursion in that XML snippet, none of the entities refers to itself, directly or transitively. If there was, the file would be invalid and the error probably caught by the parser before dying from memory exhaustion. There's no way to terminate recursion in XML entities.
