Hi Chris,

I hope this won't sound like a brush off - far from it - but
I'm going to ask that this topic be looked into in more
detail once Duxbury's total focus comes off the current task
of getting 10.6 released. (Which is already a month behind
target.)

Word for Windows itself has been showing up all kinds of
"funnies" which have taxed resources almost to the extreme.

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
