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  mi-
     grating  a  source  SGML text file to XML, since the conversion 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 DocBook.

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.doc-
     book.org/ Web site.
