Re: Baffling math problems [Was: HTML 3.0 DTD ]

Dan,

Thanks for checking the details.

I am still uncertain about how best to handle the latin-1 entities.
I changed the name from %ISOlat1 to %HTMLlat1 following a suggestion
by Terry (or was it Paul?). I would expect this file to include entity
names for the Latin-1 character codes below 128 and hence would include
& and " etc. Why were these omitted from the 2.0 spec?

Thanks for spotting this one!

The name attribute has been moved to HTML.Deprecated to encourage
use of the ID attribute instead.

The problem was an error in MAP4 which should read:

        <!SHORTREF MAP4 "}" REF6
                        "^" REF1
                        "_" REF3
                        "{" REF5 >

This allows nested boxes to work with shortrefs. Thanks for spotting this!
