Hi Tom,
The ­ entity is declared to be the same character reference ­, so if the
character reference works then the problem is in resolving the entity reference. I
infer from your use of the -ns- stylesheets that you are using DocBook 5. The DocBook
5 RNG schema does not support entity declarations, so ­ is not declared in your
documents. You should be getting a parsing error to that effect.
A workaround is required to use the DocBook entity declarations from DocBook 4. See
this reference for more information:

Let me know if I'm misunderstanding the problem.

Subject: [docbook-apps] DB soft-hyphen characters and DB 5: entity doesn't work
Bob Stayton, on p. 172 of his book, says one can use either of two
characters to produce a soft-hyphen (invisible unless the hyphen is
used to break a line):
Unicode character '­'
DB entity '­'
With xsltproc, docbook-xsl-ns-1.76.1, and fop 1.0 the Unicode
character works but the entity doesn't.
I've tried '&db:shy' but no go. What am I something wrong?
Thanks.
Best,
-Tom
