My search there for "backslash" wasn't too helpful per se, but in one of the hits, "199910/msg00131:Re: Hopefully simple -- include a quote?", was ] I put together a list of the character names supported by Jade a ] while back by scanning the Jade source. It is available at ] ftp://ftp.bna.com/pub/dspeck/jade/charnames/ . There may be a few ] new characters in OpenJade. I went to that site and looked at <ftp://ftp.bna.com/pub/dspeck/jade/charnames/charnames.dsl>. "Solidus" is a more formal name for a forward slash. Also, the first characters appear to be listed in that file in Latin-1 order, and I have a chart for that, so I can figure out an unfamiliar name by the recognizable characters around it. I therefore think that \reverse-solidus should work for you. Also, I believe that &#-type entities are translated by Jade itself when reading the DSSSL source file. Therefore, I think \ (the decimal code for "\") should also work. -- Tim McDaniel, tmcd@xxxxxxxxx; tmcd@xxxxxxxxxx is my work address DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
