htdig normally translates these by default. Which version are you running? I'm assuming it must be a 3.2 beta, because I don't know of any reason why the 3.1.x releases would have problems with either of these. In the 3.2 betas, only 34, 38, 60, 62, and 160-255 are converted. Also, in 3.2, leading zeroes in the numerical entities would throw things off even for the numbers that are converted, because it does string substitutions for these, rather than parsing the number. I think we will need to revisit and revamp the whole HtSGMLCodec class to address these and other problems. I think it was a step backward from how 3.1.x deals with these. -- Gilles R.
