Re: Special Character Bugs?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ "Don Adams" <dga@sgi.com> was heard to say:
| I have some special-character behavior
| that I don't think I can do anything about,
| but I wanted some feedback to make sure.
| Here is a sample of the DocBook XML:
|
| <article>...
|   <sect1>
|     <title>G<symbol role="unicodefont">&#x266D;</symbol> Major Key
| Signature</title>
|     <para>The G<symbol role="unicodefont">&#x266D;</symbol> Major key
| signature is</para>
|   </sect1>
| ...</article>
|
| The section title and para text are fine when
| I run this through fop and into PDF; however,
| the table of contents looses the special characters
| and replaces them with a "#" sign.  This is
| also a problem for <titleabbrev> which is placed
| in the header of the PDF pages.

You didn't mention which tools you are using, but with xslt and xep, I
can't reproduce the problem. Sounds like a problem with your FO
processor.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
