Hi Aditya,

I've just begun experimenting with xlm (because, as Duncan has  
pointed out, I'm sure that every line I write is for eternity...).  
Anyway, what I say here may be totally wrong, but here's how I treat  
this stuff:

1. For || or |-|, I have defined an entity in my DTD:

<!ENTITY conthyph "-">

In my environment for processing the xml files, I have

\defineXMLentity[conthyph]{|-|}

so I can write context&conthyph;specific and get the output I expect.

2. Yes, I use &nbsp; with these definitions:
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#x000A0;">
\defineXMLentity[nbsp]{~}

3. Abbreviations: does xtag-ent.tex do what you want?

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it does appear to  
work for me.

All best

Thomas
