Hi Sue,
It is not necessary to convert all chars into html reference, except for
a few special chars not usable in xml.
All you need is to define and save the xml file in utf-8.
Appended an example file with some special chars in its original form.
Open it in a browser.
(don't know can this mailing list retain the appended file)
Best,
Allen Lam.

Hi,
We are working on an interface between a legacy system and DSpace 1.5.1
and I keep running into problems with special characters in the text. NASA
research documents have lots of different special characters in them – some of
them are common ones such as the degree symbol - ° and some of them are more
uncommon ones such as “right ceiling” - ⌉ (see
http://myhandbook.info/codes_htmlchr.html for a pretty good list of symbols and
their equivalent “character references”). The interface is fairly new and so
far we’ve just been adding code to the extract program that outputs an xml
file, to replace the special character or symbol with the equivalent “character
reference” as we identify them. Inevitably though, the program is going to
abend when it finds a symbol we haven’t coded for and we’re going to have to
keep changing it to replace new symbols.
I did some Googling today, trying to find an already-existing JAVA method
or class that replaces symbols with the equivalent character reference, hoping
that I don’t have to write one myself, but so far have not found one. Does
anyone know of one?
Thanks in advance,
Sue
