           Summary: Manpages with unicode letters are not
converted properly
           Product: docs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I generate manpages from .po files, created manpages
contain Polish letters in the form of &#number; instead
of proper unicode characters.

Example (generated from
stable/l10n/pl/docs/kdeedu/keduca/man-keduca.1.docbook):

I think this is a fairly common problem with XSLT and
non-XML target formats - there's a similar problem in the
DocBook->PDF stuff I've been working on. I don't know of
a proper fix, although perhaps there's an xsltproc option
somewhere

If it's an XSLT issue, make sure you have the following in
your XSLT:

<xsl:output method="text"
encoding="UTF-8"/>

If you get numeric entities with that xsl:output
declaration, there's a bug in your XSLT processor.

I don't think there are any groff escapes for those
characters.
I'm not sure but I think the way to get those characters is
to
author/encode your source in ISO-8859-2, and set the
stylesheet
output encoding to ISO-8859-2 also, which will generate a
man
page that is viewable by users who have their locale set to
ISO-8859-2.

There is no way to create such a mapping if groff does not
already provide groff escapes for those characters.

Information about the available groff escapes is in the
groff_char(7) man page, so if you do "man 7
groff_char" you can
look through the list there. I don't know if that list is
complete, but if it's not, I'm not sure where else to look.
