xml,entities, hyphenation

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

i have an xml file with a word like this: intra-word 
(which are not uncommon in german).

I'd like to be able to use the dash as a possible hypenation 
point. (Perhaps even use other places as well for hyphenation). 
I think that this is the intra||word in context.

Perhaps it is possible to map the entity - to something 
meaningfull?

Viele Grüße,

  Patrick Gundlach

hm, first of all, i see that i have to treat numbers in a more advanced 
way; in what disguises do those #num; things come? I now assume hex so 045 
becomes an E -)

it is not that complicated to add an additional entity mapping branch that 
remaps no45 into |-| but first i need specs -)

sure, because i know that you love reading those ::= like things

>[66]    CharRef ::=  '&#' [0-9]+ ';' | '&#x' [0-9a-fA-F]+ ';'

i will have a look at it asap, actually it is implemented but got lost 
while hacking out the funny auto hash duplication in tex args (remind me, 
since i have to finish some xfdf processing stuff in codhost.pl (took me a 
day to uncover a mapping bug in the perl cgi module so i had to cook up a 
solution myself)).

OK, you asked for it :)

[66]    CharRef ::=  '&#' [0-9]+ ';' | '&#x' [0-9a-fA-F]+ ';'

and, as stated in the xml spec:

If the character reference begins with "&#x", the digits and
letters up to the terminating ; provide a hexadecimal representation
of the character's code point in ISO/IEC 10646. If it begins just with "&#",
the digits up to the terminating ; provide a decimal representation
of the character's code point.

so "-" == "-" == "-"
