4.4.4.1. fixedchars.ent

The fixedchars.ent file contains entity definitions for special characters such as accented characters or math symbols. If you have an editor that enables you to enter such characters directly, you can do so. (But remember that you should be using UTF-8 when editing document files.) If your editor does not have this capability, write special characters using the entity definitions as listed in fixedchars.ent. For example, to write a math minus character or a left single curly quote, use a − or ‘ entity, which appear in formatted output as – or ‘.

Sample of fixedchars.ent content: 

<!ENTITY auml "&#228;">
<!ENTITY ouml "&#246;">
<!ENTITY uuml "&#252;">
<!ENTITY Auml "&#196;">
<!ENTITY Ouml "&#214;">
<!ENTITY Uuml "&#220;">

Note

Most of our documents use the fixedchars.ent file, so it is located in the common directory. Should you need to add a new entity, add it to the master copy of fixedchars.ent in the mysqldoc repository, and then use the master copy to update the fixedchars.ent file in the common directory of any other documentation repositories.
