/ Chuck Darney <cdarney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> was heard to say:
| Does Jade, usingn the RTF backend, process SHORTREF character mapping? 
| I'm trying to use the &#TAB; to get a horizontal tab, but it doesn't
| seem to work.  The output RTF has nothing to suggest that it's been
| used.   The declaration supports shortref (shortref sgmlref) and (tab
| sepchar 9).  I don't have to modify my DTD to support the standard set
| of references, do I?  Do the style sheets have to support them in some
| way?  I used to be able to use &#TAB; but it ceased working.

One or the other of us is confused.  My understanding (or
rather, recollection) of shortref mapping is that it's an input
markup shortcut.  Any shortref characters in your input instance
are normalized away by the parser.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
