NAME

       sgml2xml-isoent - Convert SGML to XML with support for ISO entities

SYNOPSIS

       sgml2xml-isoent [sgml-document]

DESCRIPTION

       sgml2xml-isoent converts an SGML document to XML, with support for the ISO entities.  This is done by using sgml2xml(1) from the SP package
       (or osx(1) from the OpenSP package), and the declaration for the XML version of the ISO entities is added to the output.  This  means  that
       the output of this conversion should work as-is with any XML tool.

       This  program  is often used for processing SGML DocBook documents with XML-based tools. In particular, db2x_xsltproc(1) calls this program
       as part of its --sgml option. On the other hand, it is probably not helpful for migrating a source SGML text file to XML, since the conver-
       sion mangles the original formatting.

       Since the XML version of the ISO entities are referred to directly, not via a DTD, this tool also works with document types other than Doc-
       Book.

NOTES

       The ISO entities are referred using the public identifiers ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES//...//EN//XML.  The catalogs used when parsing the  con-
       verted  document  should resolve these entities to the appropriate place (on the local filesystem). If the entities are not resolved in the
       catalog, then the fallback is to get the entity files from the http://www.docbook.org/ Web site.
