Hi Filippo,
Regarding the bad links, it seems there is an extra "wd-" in the
filenames in the URLs on that page. For example:
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/wd-wd-docbook-xmlcharent-0.3.pdf
should be
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/wd-docbook-xmlcharent-0.3.pdf
Thanks for pointing that out.
Regarding character entities in DocBook 5, you should read this section
in my online book:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Db5Entities.html
It points out that the DocBook 5 schema does not include those character
entity declarations (because RelaxNG does not support entity
declarations), but describes how to borrow those from DocBook 4 if you
want them. Personally, I no longer use named character entities because
my XML editing program can display Unicode characters directly.
I don't know of a single table that lists all the DocBook character
entities. The reference documentation for DocBook character entities is
in several tables in /DocBook: The Definitive Guide/ for version 4,
available online at:

Greetings,
thank you for your work on DocBook.
I would like to report that the xml/html/pdf links on page
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/wd-docbook-xmlcharent-0.3.html#isoamsa
all fail.
I am currently discovering DocBook and am absolutely impressed. I have
many uses
of Greek characters as I am currently converting a LaTeX document to
DocBook.
What is the most recent DocBook5 character entity listing available. I
understand that people use the DB 4.5 version of the dbcent listing.
Where can I
find a reliable table of *all* the entities usable with DB 5.x ?
Thank you for your kind attention,
Sincerely,
Filippo Rusconi
