Perhaps this isn't a good application of the DSSSL style transformation. I need a way to say what should become of, e.g., ™, “, ”, —, &ndash, etc. Also, if I have my own DTD with its own SDATA entities (which are not a subset of the standard ISO SDATA entities) I need a way of mapping them to something reasonable in the output. One of my SDATA entities might become several output characters. - -dan - -- Daniel Speck e-mail: dspeck@xxxxxxxxxxxx Research Engineer voice: +1 301.548.7818 Thomson Technology Services Group fax: +1 301.527.4094 1375 Piccard Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 WWW: www.thomtech.com
