Re: entities

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I found this link http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/MI/miw03.xml.ID=miw03b that
explains how to use osx a little bit better and according to it the
extEntities.dtf and intEntities.dtf driver files should be used to map these
values, but this doesn't work for me as well.

Now the question is How to convert SDATA to symbols/characters?

Thanks
