Currently I am finishing an index and ebook of a scholarly work -- seven languages, 467 footnotes, etc. The only remaining item prior to customer acceptance is to get the accented characters in French and German showing correctly.

My standard opening for XML files is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

This standard opening leaves all of the É and ô, etc. showing in the text.

I have tried following up the DOCTPE lines above with
<!ENTITY HTMLlat1 PUBLIC
"-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent">

Flight Crew and EPubCheck are very unhappy with this.

Any suggestions?
