iso-8859-2
From: Florin Andrei ####@####.#### Date: 29 Aug 2001 08:23:56 -0000 Message-Id: <999073435.1369.47.camel@pc.home.local> Hi, i'm new here. I'm writing the Romanian-HOWTO. I would like to write this document in the romanian language. The problem is - in romanian there are 10 characters (variations of a, i, s and t) which are part of the iso-8859-2 character set. Is is possible to write the XML master directly with iso-8859-2? I guess it would be enough to use this as the first line: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?> But maybe i'm wrong. Someone suggested me to look at the stylesheets, and then use "Entities". Is that correct? Can you give me some hints, please? Another character set, even more appropriate for romanian, is iso-8859-16 - i would prefer this one over 8859-2 if possible, because the romanian characters are much more accurate here. Is it possible to write it using an entirely different set of characters? I'm thinking of UTF-8 (iso10646-1) - but maybe this is a VERY weird idea :-) so please forget it if so. P.S.: I'm planning to use a DocBook XML template provided by one of the authors of the most recent HOWTOs (published on linuxdoc). -- Florin Andrei | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Unfortunately, I have no experience working with other character sets, so I cannot be of much help. > P.S.: I'm planning to use a DocBook XML template provided by one of the > authors of the most recent HOWTOs (published on linuxdoc). Note that we do have an XSLT stylesheet now that will work with XML processing tools. You can find them in LDP CVS: http://cvsview.linuxdoc.org/index.cgi/builder/xsl/ Use 'ldp-html.xsl' if you want a single page, and 'ldp-html-chunk.xsl' if you want your document broken into multiple pages. Both wind up calling 'ldp-html-common.xsl'.
