XML Organ Specs : Entities

Entities

In order to correctly render accented characters and other symbols, the OrganSpec DTD defines the following entities, which are intentionally compatible with HTML.

To include the character in the left-hand column (and described in the right-hand column), use the spelling in the center column.

Character	Spelling	Description
>	`>`	the greater-than symbol
<	`<`	the less-than symbol
&	`&`	the ampersand character
Ä	`Ä`	the A-umlaut character
á	`á`	the a-acute character
à	`à`	the a-grave character
ä	`ä`	the a-umlaut character
ç	`ç`	the c-cedilla character
é	`é`	the e-acute character
è	`è`	the e-grave character
í	`í`	the i-acute character
ñ	`ñ`	the n-tilde character
ó	`ó`	the o-acute character
ö	`ö`	the o-umlaut character
ß	`ß`	the German double-S character
û	`û`	the u-circumflex character
newline	`&eol;`	indicates an end-of-line

Accents should never be dropped or approximated using ASCII characters or altenate spellings. For example:

Original	Correct	Incorrect
Baßflöte	`Baßflöte`	`Bassflote, Baßflöte, BaBflo"te`
Flûte à Bec	`Flûte à Bec`	`Flute a Bec, Flûte à Bec, Flu^te a' Bec`
