| You can create your own entities on-the-fly by sending an entity definition from the server to the client.
eg.
<!ENTITY clan_name "Wolf Clan" >
The entity name may not be the name of an existing built-in entity (eg. "lt" ) however you may redefine server-defined entities if you want to.
Rules for entity names
The name must start with a letter, and then consist of:
* letters (A-Z, or a-z)
* numbers (0-9)
* underscore, hyphen or period characters
Case sensitivity
Entity names are not case-sensitive.
Entities inside entities
You are allowed to use other entity names inside an entity definition, for example:
<!ENTITY clan_name ""<Wolf Clan>"" >
Then if you later display &clan_name; you would see:
"<Wolf Clan>"
The quotes, "<" and ">" are part of the entity definition.
