Named entities use a mnemonic character string instead of a numeric code. So the following is a named entity (ignore the spaces).

& n b s p ;

The equivalent numeric entity can be written in hexadecimal or decimal notation as follows:

& # 1 6 0 ;

or

& # X A 0 ;


The only named entities allowed in html5/epub3 are the original xml entities.

& a m p ;

& l t ;

& g t ;

and a few others.

All others must be in numeric form.
