title: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The character reference must end with the ';' delimiter. Workaround Needed
body: <p>I am trying to use DOM Parser in Java to parse a small XML file I pull off the net from its uri but receive an error complaining about missing semicolon.</p>
  
  <p>Here's link 108:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Document doc = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse("url_to_the_xml_file.xml");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Fatal Error] A01.xml:6:53: The character reference must end with the ';' delimiter.
  Exception in thread "main" org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The character reference must end with the ';' delimiter.

  <p>parsing this line of XML</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;title&gt;Reduction Algorithm using the &amp;#192 TROUS Wavelet Transform.&lt;/title&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Obviously there's a semi-colon missing. Does anyone know any nice and tidy work arounds for this problem?</p>
