Element: advancedEntityReferenceUsage 75

For controlling some specialist use cases, where both the entity references and their replacement text are compared.

One use case where you might want to set this variable explicitly is: when you configure the comparator for standard 'round trip' lexical preservation, but the final output format cannot represent entity references. In this case, the REPLACE value can be used. This is an alternative to specifying a custom processing mode that performs round trip processing, except for entity references which are substituted for their values (i.e. their replacement text) prior to the comparison.
