&copy;
?
Or why don't you do it directly, ©
I inserted the infinity symbol like that not long ago. I didn't get any errors though. I'd guess that you need that inside a <p> or some other tag like that,
The XML parser you use to check your xhtml doesn't understand that entity, as it says. So for html the correct way to insert a copyright symbol is indeed © but for compliance with your XML parser you might want to insert the hexidecimal value for the symbol.
Also you should always define a doctype:
edit: the board parses it, so it should beCode:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Copyright test</title>
</head>

Without any spaces.Code:& # 1 6 9;
Actually, the real problem was (depending on the XML parser you were using) that you were omitting the DTD ID and location. The entity & copy; is defined in the DTD. Without that, it doesn't exist, thus the parser error.
