Can you tell me exactly WHAT is broken with respect to entity support??? 
The only thing I know of is things like — and … 

And yes, entity support is broken because we are using libxml 1.x and the 
SAX parser. According to Daniel we should switch to DOM, but we can't 
switch to DOM because we are using DocBook SGML not DocBook XML.

Probably a bug somewhere. John Fleck wrote a bug report about it which he

are occupying my time).

This problem has been filed in the bug tracker (it is more of a Mozilla

If gnome-db2html2 doesn't work for you, then ship HTML docs. 
gnome-db2html2 isn't a "replacement" for db2html, but we are trying to 
make as many things as possible work.
