I wonder if this could be a problem for some languages where a word changes when used in e.g. singular/plural form, or with declinations, cases, and so on. A prime example: in the Russian version of the Handbook, the title for chapter 4.5 is "Использование Коллекции Портов", and the word used, 'Kolekcii', is a derivative of the word 'Kolekcija'. How exactly should this be represented using entities? :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@cnsys.bg roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This inert sentence is my body, but my soul is alive, dancing in the sparks of your brain.
