6 sgml2xml-isoent - Convert SGML to XML with support for ISO entities
7
9 sgml2xml-isoent [sgml-document]
10
12 sgml2xml-isoent converts an SGML document to XML, with support for the
13 ISO entities. This is done by using sgml2xml(1) from the SP package
14 (or osx(1) from the OpenSP package), and the declaration for the XML
15 version of the ISO entities is added to the output. This means that
16 the output of this conversion should work as-is with any XML tool.
17
18 This program is often used for processing SGML DocBook documents with
19 XML-based tools. In particular, db2x_xsltproc(1) calls this program as
20 part of its --sgml option. On the other hand, it is probably not help‐
21 ful for migrating a source SGML text file to XML, since the conversion
22 mangles the original formatting.
23
24 Since the XML version of the ISO entities are referred to directly, not
25 via a DTD, this tool also works with document types other than DocBook.
26
28 The ISO entities are referred using the public identifiers ISO
29 8879:1986//ENTITIES//...//EN//XML. The catalogs used when parsing the
30 converted document should resolve these entities to the appropriate
31 place (on the local filesystem). If the entities are not resolved in
32 the catalog, then the fallback is to get the entity files from the
33 http://www.docbook.org/ Web site.
