Re: SDATA entity mapping

["Stephen J. Tinney" <stinney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, thanks, James.  You provided the missing link here with the CDATA
type for the entities.  I had been trying to do this with SDATA and
given up in frustration, but now all seems to work as I thought it
should.

Below is a description of what I am doing for the archives.

Outputting UTF8 via Arbitrary Entities with DSSSL/Jade.
=======================================================

1. Define your entities as CDATA:

<!ENTITY tst CDATA "&#353;" -- 353 is scaron -->

2. Load the entity set in the prolog:

<!doctype style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN"[
<!ENTITY % tstent SYSTEM >
%tstent;
]>

3. Point to the appropriate entity set in your CATALOG:

ENTITY %tstent "tst.ent"

4. Invoke Jade with the -b utf-8 option and your catalog:

jade -b utf-8 -c /usr/src/jade/dsssl/catalog -c ./CATALOG -t sgml

5. Here are my test files for the above:

---tst.ent---
<!ENTITY tst      CDATA "&#353;" -- 353 is scaron -->
-------------

---CATALOG---
ENTITY %tstent "tst.ent"
-------------

---tst.dsl---
<!doctype style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN"[
<!ENTITY % tstent SYSTEM >
%tstent;
]>

(declare-flow-object-class formatting-instruction
  "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Flow Object Class::formatting-instruction")

(default (make formatting-instruction data: "&tst;"))
-------------

---do-tst---
#!/bin/sh
jade -b utf-8 -c /usr/src/jade/dsssl/catalog -c ./CATALOG -t sgml tst.dsl
------------
