Translating between characters and entity references
====================================================

   Set the variable `sgml-display-char-list-filename' to a file that
contains mappings between all characters present in the presentation
character set, and their "standard replacement text" names, e.g. "å" ->
"[aring ]", e.t.c.

   The default value for this variable is `iso88591.map'.

   Then use the functions (also in the Modify menu)

`sgml-charent-to-display-char'

`sgml-display-char-to-charent'
   to translate between entities and characters.
