Hello:

I wrote to the list on May 3 asking about character set designations when converting from XML to Duxbury. Let me restate the issue here.

In the raw XML files, some characters appear to be in unicode. For example, a < sign shows as &#60; and > is &#62;. When I bring the file into XMetaL, a word processor, it handles the coversion from &#60 to < and others as well. What is the recommended method for accomplishing this for Duxbury when bringing text from XML into Duxbury?

Experimentally, I converted the text to HTMl and got &lt; for <. However, I see no HTML templates for DBT.

Thanks for any advice.

Chris

Hello:

In the raw XML files I'm working with, we run into some issues for certain characters. For example, < and > show up in the raw file as &#60; and &#62;. In bringing these files into XMetaL, the wordprocesor we use, the characters resolve themselves properly. But, in Duxbury they do not. Is there a parameter or technique of some sort to assist with this?

Thanks.

Chris
