    Comments:
    The SGML Tools lib/general needs to be browsed.

<title>TEST: Entities

<date>May 1997

<!-- Abstract (optional) -->

<abstract>
This file is part of the SGML Tools Test Suite. Its purpose is
to verify backend support for all predefined and officially
supported entities. At the same time, it serves as a sample file,
listing all entities conveniently.

<sect>HTML DTD entities
<p>
All HTML 3.0 entities that have a name should be supported.
Entities that can only be adressed by decimal code are not
supported. Entities that provide formatting control (horizontal
tan, line feed, carriage return) are not supported. The
mappings for 7bit ASCII backends (if different) are given as
well.

It might be a good idea not to support these.

<p>
Not sure about these, I'd recommend no support. I fail to
see what purpose the accent/cedilla serve without backspace,
which is backend specific. Non breaking space?
<descrip>
<tag/&nbsp; (nbsp) /   Non breaking space
<tag/&uml;  (uml)  /   Dieresis (for german Umlaut, but useless?)

<sect>SGML Tools specific entities

for this.
