Actually, I built Lyx on a machine here at work and it happily let me
type "as is" in the Code environment in DocBook - although now it's
putting an extra blank line between each line of code. Is it
significant which version of sgmltools is installed when Lyx is built?
At work I had sgmltools installed, while at home I had sgml-tools
installed while Lyx was built and then upgraded to sgmltools.

It turns out to be a problem with sgmltools. The postscript and rich
text format gets the quotes and brackets right but the html output
doesn't. As for tildes, if in the code environment they're written as
"~" and look good in all ouput. If written in the standard
environment they're written as "˜" and and all formats (ps,
html, rtf etc) show just that, instead of the desired character.
I attach a small test sgml file as an example.
