I'm having some problems where some undefined entity are getting in,
these entities are usually html entities.
sad thing is"bringing in these large chains is putting
the xml doc points to the & in ";¦" as the problem. what do I
need to do to get this stuff cleaned up?

Not quite. That first ; is part of the previous entity, """. You
want to do a search/replace for ""

And is a perfectly valid entity. It represents a pipe character
(""), so it is NT an undefined entity.

If you really don't want it there, do a search-replace for ""
and either replace it with an alternative character (perhaps a
directly), or an empty string to remove it entirely.
