Yes, we _allow_ LATIN1 characters in the SGML docs, but I replaced the LATIN1 characters we had with HTML entities, so there are none currently. I think it is too easy for non-Latin1 UTF8 to creep into our SGML docs so I added a cron job on my server to alert me when non-ASCII characters appear. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com When a patient asks the doctor, "Am I going to die?", he means "Am I going to die soon?"
