Chris,

Presumably when you open the file, DBT is selecting the SGML/ICADD/HTML 
filter automatically. If not make sure that is the selected filter. Try 
using the English (American) - XML (Daisy-NISO-NIMAS) template.

Not much work has been done on the template at this point. However, as 
we get closer to NIMAS files being provided at year's end, I'm sure it 
will get closer scrutiny.

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 < 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
