[Roland Schopf <Roland.Schopf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

> Hi,
> 
> I have a similar problem here with a degree symbol. In ISOLat1.ent
> deg is defined as
> <!ENTITY deg    CDATA "&#176;" -- degree sign -->
> 
> After generating HTML I always get °, and not &#176; as expected 
> &amp; is working perfectly ok, producing &#38;
> 
> I use OJ 1.3 and SP_Encoding is set to utf-8.
> 
> Any idea how to solve this?
