Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Latin-2 character entities in html


| / Colin Paul Adams <colin@colina.demon.co.uk> was heard to say:
| | I have a document that makes use of two Latin-2 character entities:
| | 
| | &omacr; &umacr;
| | 
| | When I process the document (using DocBook 3.1, dsssl, as distributed
| | with RedHat 6.2), the postscript or pdf versions look fine. But the
| | html version shows these characters as a ?, even if I change Netscape
| | to use the Latin-2 character encoding (I also tried the Unicode 2.0
| | encoding).
| | 
| | Is there something I can do about this?
| 
| I don't think so. If you turn them into numeric character
| references, does that work? (I mean, try it by hand and see if
| the browser does the right thing; if so, you can probably get
| that effect.)

If the substitution is acceptable for your context, you can use 
&#244; and &#251; (circumflex rather than macron) - at least
this works with IE.

regards, Terry
