Hi

I have sgml-files (created by Wordperfect) and want to convert them to html
via a dom.

When I write something like ü (e.g.) in the sgml-file, the parser stops
at the '&' and leaves
the program gentle. I found out that ü works (!?) - I don't know
that much about ?ml, but
in my point of view this behavior is quite strange...

I could convert the whole file before processing it, but I'm really
interested in the 'official' way to
handle this.

thanks in advance  - Jan
