[Peter Flynn, answering Dave Raggett:] | For really hard to pronounce phrases, perhaps its worth considering | an attribute for specifying the pronunciation using the International | Phonetic Alphabet. Can anyone give me a lead on how to represent | IPC characters conveniently using ASCII? Is there an agreed set | of SGML entities? | | Yes I think there is, but I don't think it is possible to represent | the chars using ASCII very easily (although maybe the IPC people do | this in email somehow). There is certainly a recognised name for each | character (I think the ipamacs.sty file in the wsuipa font collection | for TeX implements the glyphs by name). See http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/home.htm and also http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/x-sampa.htm Jon
