Package: xmlto
Version: 0.0.18-5
Severity: minor
My docbook manual page contains the following line:
<!ENTITY debian "<productname>Debian</productname>">
Fairly standard in debian packages. When I convert my manpage to man
format using "xmlto man", it results in the following content, which
causes the following lintian warning.

N:
N: This man page provokes warnings or errors from man.
N:
N: "can't find numbered character" usually means latin1 etc in the input,
N: and this warning indicates characters will be missing from the output.
N: You can change to escapes like \[:a] described on the groff_char man
N: page.

This is because of the non-utf8 trademark character after "Debian". The
trademark symbol could arguably be removed, since not all products are
trademarked.

reassign 321572 docbook-xsl
thanks
This comes from using the HTML stylesheets. But with the groff charmaps
this bug in the docbook-xsl package should have been fixed for a while
now, so I'm going to close this report (atm "(TM)" is used, without a
need to escape it). Feel free to comment this decision or reopen the
bug, if you think, I'm wrong.
Note: To replace all special characters, you must set the
man.charmap.use.subset parameter to zero (see
file:///usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl-doc-html/doc/manpages/man.charmap.use.subset.html)
in your custom stylesheet or fragment.
