Description
Name: anR10225			Date: 12/05/2003


  HTML parser doesn't handle such references as '&#xH;' where H is a
hexadecimal number.
  The following test case reproduces the problem:
        JEditorPane p = new JEditorPane("text/html", "Z");
        Document d = p.getDocument();
        String cont = d.getText(0, d.getLength());
        System.out.println("'" + cont + "'");

letter 'Z' here should be printed here instead of 'Z'

EVALUATION Name: anR10225 Date: 12/05/2003 the functionality for parsing hexadecimal entity reference should be added to the javax.swing.text.html.parser.Parser.parseEntityReference() method. The syntax of this reference should be the following: &#[xX][0-9a-fA-F]+; Keyword: html ======================================================================
