Letting the stylesheet do the chunking seems to be the way to go, otherwise internal and external references can be a pain with time. > > I really don't think there's a place for all theses special entities > > that duplicate characters easily available in ISO-8859-1 and > > Unicode. > > As I recall, it simplifies the makeinfo code to output the entity names. > As opposed to writing 8-bit chars? Well, I would say, instead of using entites that are defined only in the DTD, we can write unicode numbers (ie. &#NUMBER; format) and keep the output 7-bit. Provides multi-lingual documents, and drops the necessity of carrying the DTD file around for proper expansion. Though if we go this way, we'll have to use elements for entities such as &TeX; and &LaTeX; (ie. <TeX/> and <LateX/>.) > > However, in practice, some bits are lost.

Before starting, would you like me to do the change above? (Numeric entities.)
