Sorry All, I should have looked a little more. I found that the entity declarations already exist but are not working.?

 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\isoents\iso-num.ent (2 hits)
Line 43: <!ENTITY micro "&#x00B5;"> <!-- MICRO SIGN -->
Line 43: <!ENTITY micro "&#x00B5;"> <!-- MICRO SIGN -->

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\isoents\isonum.rw (3 hits)
Line 75: entity "micro" is fm char 0x6d in "FmSymbol";
Line 76: /* entity "micro" is fm char 0x00B5; */
Line 77: /* MICRO SIGN */

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\isoents\iso-num.ent (2 hits)
Line 45: <!ENTITY deg "&#x00B0;"> <!-- DEGREE SIGN -->
Line 45: <!ENTITY deg "&#x00B0;"> <!-- DEGREE SIGN -->

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\isoents\isonum.rw (3 hits)
Line 81: entity "deg" is fm char 0xb0 in "FmSymbol";
Line 82: /* entity "deg" is fm char 0x00B0; */
Line 83: /* DEGREE SIGN */


I also tried typing the characters in using the FM character palette using the same hex codes and they still come out as characters rather than entities. Related, only one of the less-than-equal-to or greater-than-equal-to characters is converted too. Is this a bug in this version of FM?

Thanks,

============

Hi All,

I'm saving structured XML files and am looking for how to define character entities for the degree ° and mu µ symbols. I noticed percent % comes out as a character entity (& percnt ; ) so I searched for that term and found a couple of files:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\isoents\iso-num.ent (1 hit)
Line 32: <!ENTITY percnt "&#x0025;"> <!-- PERCENT SIGN -->
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\isoents\isonum.rw (1 hit)
Line 52: entity "percnt" is fm char 0x0025;

Is this looking in the right direction? It seems I could just add a couple of lines to these files if I knew how to code it properly (°), (µ).

Thanks for any guidance.
C2
