Subject: DOCBOOK: docbook XML entities in nsgmls
I'm trying to use the latest version of Docbook XML from Norm Walsh that includes the ISO character entity definitions in Unicode that look like this: <!ENTITY acute "´"> <!-- ACUTE ACCENT --> These entity definitions generate fatal errors in two SGML products that supposedly support XML: nsgmls from James Clark and Arbortext Adept. The error is generated when the parser encounters the first entity definition in the DTD: Unknown function name (X00B4) given in character reference. Check that name has been used in the FUNCTION clause of the SGML declaration (err:552 line:6 pos:244) Somehow SGML is interpreting x00B4 in the entity as a function name rather than a character. FUNCTION is an SGML declaration feature. It is used to assign special functions to certain characters in the character set, such as record end (RE), record start (RS), etc. The ISO unicode characters are not functions. Is there something I can add to the declaration so these entity definitions are interpreted as functions? bobs
