Not really. An entity can use another entity, but a reference to an entity cannot include a parameter. You could have a Perl or shell script that kicked out &ctrl.alt.f1; &ctrl.alt.f2; ... entities, or you could attack it on the style side. Could create a custom tag which takes and arg (functionnum) and then handle display in the DSSSL or XSL. > and, on a slightly related note, any pointers to > publicly-available sets of common, useful entity definitions for > writing computer-related documents? Hmm, like what? You might wanna see what the freeBSD folks are doing.
