Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: —
I don't understand what happens to character entities. I have a document with é and —. When I convert it to HTML with the XSL DocBook stylsheets, they pass through unchanged. When I view the XML with Netscape 6PR1, nothing is displayed (although View Source shows é and —). I changed an é to é. When I convert it to HTML, it shows up as é. When I view it with NS6, it shows up as é. Likewise for — and —. What's doing the conversion: xt, the XSL stylesheets, the DTD, or the browser? My ulterior motive is to the opposite of John's. I want "--" in HTML, because Netscape 4.x doesn't recognize —. In short, <aol>Me, too!</aol>. At 02:35 PM 6/29/00 -0400, John.Prabhu@macmillanUSA.com wrote: >Thanks for the answer.
