The parameter entities in this file all take the same form
as the two shown below:
<!ENTITY % n.figure 'figure' >
<!ENTITY % n.character 'character' >
Element and attribute-list declarations in the DTDs refer to the
parameter entity n.character, not directly to the generic
identifier <character>. As a result, the declarations will
function as desired even if a new generic identifier is substituted.
E.g. <char> for <character> and <wsdFig> for <figure>:
<!ENTITY % n.figure "wsdFig" >
<!ENTITY % n.character "char" >
This allows generic identifiers to be renamed conveniently, e.g., to
provide names in languages other than English, or to provide shorter
names than those documented here.
