Dear friends,

we have contacted with you sometimes ago with a question about
possibility to enable to read SGML/XML document in Thot. Your
answer was:

> We plan to extend Thot towards XML instead of SGML. We hope to have
> 2 students working on that.
> Using the Thot API, it's really easy to write a parser which builds
> the internal Thot tree from the XML form of a document and a save function
> which provides the XML form of the current document tree.

We would like to ask you:

- if you have started to make this job and when some first version
will be available ? Do not have any preparing documentation for
public?

- will you support character entities ?

- how do you plan to deal with UNICODE 16 bit coding of XML documents ?

In our Euromath project we plan also to write T-files for saving documents
into XML format (with DTD). From this reason we would like to know something
closer about possibility to load XML document into Thot.

Thank you for your answer.

Best regards,

Jana Ch.
