It’s possible in XML using the
<!ENTITY>declaration, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Your site would no longer be HTML, and most browsers wouldn’t accept it. (Indeed, none do, unless your file is XML, which rather defeats the purpose.) Client-side processing using JavaScript is possible, but not accessible. Server-side processing is a waste of time, unless it’s user input, in which case you should replace the entities before inserting the data into your database.So, yes, it’s possible, but unless you have a good reason to do it… don’t!
