Yes, you're right. I chased this up on the ldp list and it turns out
to be a problem with the DSSSL stylesheet settings. In
<DSSSLSTYLESDIR>/docbook/html/docbook.dsl the following setting:
(declare-characteristic preserve-sdata?
"UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Characteristic::preserve-sdata?" #t)
should be changed to #f
That fixes it for html but still leaves a problem with tildes in
Postscript, which I have yet to ferret out (somewhere in the
docbool/print
stylesheets).
What worries me about this is that the whole point of sgml is not to
worry
about the formatting. Even if you do fix this on your own machine
it's going
to be wrong anywhere where someone has your sgml document and the
default DocBook
stylesheets. Kind of defeats the purpose.
To avoid this it's probably better to replace &ldquo and &rdquo with
". Is
it much of a job to change the DocBook layout files to do this?
