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 calls this program as part of its --sgml option.

Note that the XML version of the ISO entities (from the DocBook XML distribution) are referred to directly, not via a DTD, so this tool should also work with document types other than DocBook.
