This seems to work well when producing PDF or RTF output:

    <!ENTITY zwj       "&#x200D;">       <!-- Zero Width Joiner -->
    <!ENTITY cplusplus "C&zwj;+&zwj;+">

    ...Recompiling SuperBoost &cplusplus; Library with Visual Studio  
2005...

But if you are producing HTML output, you will later need to remove  
the Zero Width Joiners, perhaps like this:

    cat yourfile.html | sed 's/‍ZWJ//g' > yourfile.html

where "ZWJ" is replaced with the actual Zero Width Joiner character.

HTH.
