While working on some freebsd-taiwan docbook, we discovered this
problem with Docbook/SGML not handling 2 byte characters correctly.
For example:
I have this line of text ("AA" and "BB" are two examples of 2 byte chars)
<PARA> AABBAABBAABBAABB </PARA>
When I compile this with output specified to text files. The correct
behavior to cut them into two lines would be:
AABBAABBAABB/n
AABB/n
However, sometimes the output comes out looking like:
AABBAABBAABBA/n
ABB/n
(Note the broken AA char in the last part of the first line)
This causes the whole doc to be broken and unreadable. Since
subsequent encoding/decoding is off-by-one. And the problem
can repeat several times in the documentation.
Is there any way to fix this? Is there an SGML tag that I can
specify? Or is this a lacking feature of Docbook?
