I am using XML Mind Professional Edition 4.6.1 connected to XDocs CMS. I need to use the TM mark (trademark) in my files but the mark cannot be published. I usually generate chm files by using Dita OT but the following error occurs: “illegal character 153” and no chm is produced. Using the registered or copyright mark does not lead to any issues. Is this a bug in encoding the TM marks?
XMLmind XML Editor does not use the DITA OT to generate .chm files. Instead, it uses "XMLmind DITA Converter" -- http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/ , for which we provide support (only to our direct customers though).
I cannot reproduce the problem with our own tool "XMLmind DITA Converter". I used XMLmind XML Editor v5.3 and hence XMLmind DITA Converter 2.2.2 to do my tests. (Test files sent as an attachment.)
May be it is the XDocs CMS which uses the DITA OT to generate the .chm file. If this is the case, you should send your support request to Bluestream, the developers of the XDocs CMS.
