Hello,

I hope I use the correct terminology to ask this question...

If you specify a short reference map, e.g.,

<!ENTITY aa "a">
<!SHORTREF foo "aa" a>

what happens to the modified text after the substitution is made?  I.e.,
if the txt is

	aaa

after the first substitution it becomes

	aa

Now, is this texthe map applied again to this text to get

	a

or i the modified text not scanned again?
