[Gnuplot-info] SVG enhanced terminal and html entities

[Martin K. <ma...@bh...>]

Hello,
 I would like to produce the SVG output, where the axis label contains
symbol in upper index. At a moment, I can produce the symbols correctly
with:
 
set terminal svg noenhanced
set ylabel ' Δ E ‡'

But I would like to put the the double dagger symbol as the index. To do
that,
obviously:

set terminal svg enhanced
set ylabel ' Δ E^‡'

But this causes the HTML entities to screw up.  The ampersand gets
interpreted in gnuplot sense as emtpy space, upon escaping to \Δ
it end up as &, more backlashes do not help.

Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks
Martin

I think you'll have to put the superscript in {} for that to work.

	set ylabel ' Δ E^{‡}'

gnuplot's internal engine doesn't know about &#x syntax, so it has no 
way of knowing that it's not just the & you wanted in superscript.

Whether or not that will help with smuggling the '&' through, I'm not sure.

SVG necessarilly accepts UTF-8 encoding, so just give it the 
characters directly:

    set ylabel " Δ ^‡"

(tested here using gnuplot 4.6.1's svg terminal)
