Wendell, I'm guessing its a missing glyph issue in the fonts used
by the xsl-fo processor.
Suggest try another character as a substitution, see if that
works. I would have thought - would be available in most fonts,
less sure why - is not being used, unless you're right and its not
being declared correctly?
regards DaveP.
To be as persnickety as possible, one must point out first
that this isn't
an XSL question, but a parsing question. Nonetheless, since
you're running
into it in an XSL context, let that slide --
At 06:23 PM 10/15/2003, you wrote:
All of the entities are resolved properly except for
"hyphen". (It just
comes over as the generic "block" character) Here is the
entity declaration:
<!ENTITY hyphen "-">
If this is what you have, and not
<!ENTITY hyphen "-" >
you'll get a parse error because of the missing semicolon.
(Otherwise, I
don't know why it's not working -- what's the error message?)
<!ENTITY hyphen "—">
This will work *if* the mdash entity has been declared ahead
of the hyphen
entity -- but I don't think you want em-dashes there even if it has.
You might also try
<!ENTITY hyphen "-" >
Cheers,
Wendell
