>From: Rune Mathisen <[log in to unmask]> >Newsgroups: comp.text.sgml,comp.text.tex >Subject: Ann: ISO character entities and their LaTeX equivalents >Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> >Date: 07 Sep 1998 15:33:31 +0200 We have been making documentation on the entity character sets given in the ISO 8879 (SGML) standard. The aim is twofold: (1) Provide the mappings necessary to translate SGML documents to TeX/LaTeX. (2) Provide documentation on how the characters look by producing glyphs (using LaTeX of course). This will also work the other way around: it is actually a neat reference for LaTeX users needing some special symbol. Status: -- Almost all ISO 8879 mappings to LaTeX have been found. ISObox is missing. Further work: -- We are including mappings to Unicode. -- We will add other character entity sets: ISO TR 9573-13, HTML-4, MathML -- We want someone to help us write a database application (SQL) to sort and present the symbols for different purposes ...and replace SDATA fields in entity files. -- We need help finding more documentation on -- font packages for TeX/LaTeX. -- other (public) character entity sets. See: http://home.sol.no/~mathrune/isoent/ Any comments or suggestions are welcome! Please respond to <[log in to unmask]>. -- Rune Mathisen <[log in to unmask]> Vidar Gundersen <[log in to unmask]> End of forwarded message. -- Martin Schr"oder, [log in to unmask] Internet: Thousands of people mostly unaware of the sight and sound of each other, linked together by the bits of our souls that can fit through computer keyboards.
