A literal described char is a coded character (`bit combination' in ISO speak) in the document which can not be described by reference to a coded character in a standard charset. Thus it is described by a literal. DSSSL identifies characters by their names and describes them by references to coded characters in the `universal character set' ISO10646 (this is what standard-chars does) or by simply naming them (in other-chars). The baseset-encoding and literal-described-char forms define the map from coded characters in the doc to DSSSL character names (via the description of the coded characters in the SGML declaration). There is no string search and replace happening here at all. Didier says: --------------------------------------------- I may have done here two mistakes a) wrong example, b) bad interpretation of the spec. Matthias, could you just give a small example to illustrate what you are saying. We would all gain knowledge on how to use this feature. And in the same vein, to document it without interpretation error. Thanks, for fixing the error and thanks in advance providing a concrete example. regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
