docbook-apps

Hi Tom,
The ­ entity is declared to be the same character reference ­, so if the
character reference works then the problem is in resolving the entity reference. I
infer from your use of the -ns- stylesheets that you are using DocBook 5. The DocBook
5 RNG schema does not support entity declarations, so ­ is not declared in your
documents. You should be getting a parsing error to that effect.

A workaround is required to use the DocBook entity declarations from DocBook 4. See
this reference for more information:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Db5Entities.html#CharEntities

Let me know if I'm misunderstanding the problem.

I now remember I read that somewhere, in your book, I believe--sorry.

In fact, as I try again, the exact error message is

parser error : Entity 'shy' not defined

Thanks, Bob.
