I have a similar problem and I am going to use this thread to ask for assistance:
Look at
http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/tex-errors.html
It's just a HTML page created through DocBook.
Now look at that text there:
-----
Its \traceon command gives you what \tracingall offers,
-----
In order to get the backslash \ as a real backslash in HTML, I had to change every "&" to a "\" in the SGML file! That is, replace the entity with the character it represents! This is exactly the opposite of the advise given here - and of common sense, actually!
Why?
Because if I leave it as "& amp ; tracingall" and "& amp ; traceall" in the SGML file, the resulting HTML file has the first ampersand replaced by the ampersand entity, resulting in "& amp ; amp ; tracingall" and "& amp ; amp ; traceall" in the HTML file, which are consequently displayed as "& amp ; tracingall" and "& amp ; traceall" respectively!
(I have inserted blanks in the strings above, because otherwise my webmail application would replace the entities with the ampersands and it would be a complete mess!)
Why is the first "&" in "& amp ;" transformed again in its entity by Openjade? Is it any entry in the stylesheets that causes this?
You can download the SGML file from
http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/mySGML.sgml
or with images from
http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/mySGML-sgml.tar.gz
and try to render it. You should pass
-i output.print.png
to Openjade for the correct image formats to be included (see
http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/explain-figures.html
for the explanation).
Any hints much appreciated.
