Re: [docbook-apps] epub3 and named entities
Hi Jirka, I got some clarification from the vendor, and you are correct that not all named character entities will be considered incorrect. In particular, it looks like the following five entities remain ok: lt;, gt;, amp;, quote; and apos; Thanks for the reply; it pushed me into checking further.

Re: [docbook-apps] epub3 and named entities
I got the information from a conversion house, but I'm following up with them, so I'll refrain from naming them until they get a chance to respond.

[docbook-apps] epub3 and named entities
It looks as though the next version of epubcheck may reject epub3 files that use named character entities (amp;, etc.). Right now, the stylesheets will generate at least some of these, even if you use the numeric equivalent (e.g., if you use #38; for ampersand in your source, the output will be amp;). Is there an option that will keep Saxon (which is what we currently use) from making this change? Or are there options with other processors that might be a better choice?
