Please use our "Characters" tool to do that. Or if you prefer, Press "Esc n" (Esc then n) and then type (autocompletion) the name of a character entity.

The XHTML 1.0 DTD contains the following character entity definition: In xhtml-special.ent: <!ENTITY rdquo "”"> <!-- right double quotation mark, U+201D ISOnum --> No definition of rdquor. --> I can reproduce this behavior with a DocBook 4 document. The DocBook V4.5 DTD contains the following character entity definitions: In ent/isonum.ent: <!ENTITY rdquo "”" ><!--RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK --> In ent/isopub.ent: <!ENTITY rdquor "”" ><!--RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK --> I don't know why rdquo has been defined like that by the OASIS committee. See http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/iso-num.html --> XMLmind XML Editor strictly conforms to what's specified in the DTD. Therefore there is no bug here we could fix. --> Let's suppose you are using a DocBook 4 DTD. There is no good way to solve your problem. If you modify XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/dtd/V4.5/ent/isonum.ent [*], you'll have interchange problems. That is, it will work fine just in the context of your local copy of XMLmind XML Editor. --- [*] If you do that, please do not forget to clear the Schema cache (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/advancedOptions.html#cacheOptions) and then restart XMLmind XML Editor. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
