Subject: rendering trademark in HTML using DSSSL and Navigator From: Deborah Greenberg Lidl <dgl@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 21:48:14 -0600 |
All -- It appears that one of the tools is not playing well with the trademark symbols in HTML. In Netscape Navigator 4.x browsers on both BSD/OS 4.1 and Windows 98, trademarks are showing up as ™ in the text. Registered trademarks, service marks, and copyright are showing up as the symbols. In Lynx on BSD/OS and Internet Explorer 5.0 and HotMetal PRO on Windows 98, all trademarks symbols are rendered as you would expect. Using the print stylesheet transformed to TeX and converted to PostScript, all the trademark symbols are rendered as you would expect. The tools: DocBook SGML 4.1 / DSSSL 1.54 / Jade 1.2.1 / BSD/OS 4.1 The testfile (with the path to the docbook.dtd on my system): <!doctype para public "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN" "/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/docbook.dtd"> <para>What is the difference between <trademark>foo</trademark>, <trademark class="trade">bar</trademark>, <trademark class="registered">baz,</trademark>, <trademark class="service">quux</trademark>, and <trademark class="copyright">wombat</trademark>? </para> The HTML results: <P >What is the difference between <SPAN CLASS="TRADEMARK" >foo</SPAN >™, <SPAN CLASS="TRADEMARK" >bar</SPAN >™, <SPAN CLASS="TRADEMARK" >baz,</SPAN >®, <SPAN CLASS="TRADEMARK" >quux</SPAN ><SUP >SM</SUP >, and <SPAN CLASS="TRADEMARK" >wombat</SPAN >©?</P > When the HTML results are viewed in Netscape Navigator, it displays: What is the difference between foo™, bar™, baz,®, quuxSM, and wombat©? The hex stuff is, of course, shown as the actual symbols. In playing around with Netscape Composer, it appears that the trademark symbol is being interpreted as &trade;. When the HTML results are viewed in Internet Explorer or Lynx, they display the trademark symbol along with the other symbols. Suggestions, pointers, and other comments greatly appreciated.
