It is becoming more rare these days, but still possible that the document encoding cannot be UTF-8 for whatever reason. So if it's not unduly complicating things, I'd suggest to avoid prescribing the UTF-8 encoding for any and all exports. Character entities and character entity references are what SGML/XML/HTML are using to get around that problem (the markup languages are all defined as operating on UCS), however the set of entitiy references defined by default is different, which makes the numeric character entities the most portable (unfortunately they are less readable). Remark: IIUC, this is what derails the (HTML, but not XML) symbolic entities in Freemind. It might be possible to simply declare the DTD defining these for XML in the freemind preamble. http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/ Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Factory and User Sound Singles for Waldorf Q+, Q and microQ: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#WaldorfSounds
