Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] RE: %isopub character entities not working
I am using: XEP, Client Edition, Version 3.4, April 30, 2003. I was using an older docbook.xsl (v 1.22 2003/04/1), so I downloaded docbook-xsl-1.61.3. The result is better in that I just have a blank (not an outlined rectangle) where the ✓ should be. Any further suggestions? Thanks.

Any ideas? It is a valid character, but you don't mention what tools you are using to process the files. I can get ✓ to show up in the pdf when I use this toolchain: docbook-xsl-1.61.3 saxon 6.5.2 fop-0.20.5 Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
