Hi Filippo, Regarding the bad links, it seems there is an extra "wd-" in the filenames in the URLs on that page. For example: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/wd-wd-docbook-xmlcharent-0.3.pdf should be http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/wd-docbook-xmlcharent-0.3.pdf Thanks for pointing that out. Regarding character entities in DocBook 5, you should read this section in my online book: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Db5Entities.html It points out that the DocBook 5 schema does not include those character entity declarations (because RelaxNG does not support entity declarations), but describes how to borrow those from DocBook 4 if you want them. Personally, I no longer use named character entities because my XML editing program can display Unicode characters directly. I don't know of a single table that lists all the DocBook character entities. The reference documentation for DocBook character entities is in several tables in /DocBook: The Definitive Guide/ for version 4, available online at: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/refchar.html Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises [email protected] On 1/5/2019 9:51 AM, Filippo Rusconi wrote: > Greetings, > > thank you for your work on DocBook. > > I would like to report that the xml/html/pdf links on page > http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/wd-docbook-xmlcharent-0.3.html#isoamsa > > > all fail. > > I am currently discovering DocBook and am absolutely impressed.
