DB soft-hyphen characters and DB 5: entity doesn't work

  • 1.  DB soft-hyphen characters and DB 5: entity doesn't work

    Posted 02-03-2011 20:50
    Bob Stayton, on p. 172 of his book, says one can use either of two
    characters to produce a soft-hyphen (invisible unless the hyphen is
    used to break a line):

    Unicode character '­'
    DB entity '­'

    With xsltproc, docbook-xsl-ns-1.76.1, and fop 1.0 the Unicode
    character works but the entity doesn't.

    I've tried '&db:shy' but no go. What am I something wrong?

    Thanks.

    Best,

    -Tom
