In the PostgreSQL 7.1 Tutorial, filename relmodel-oper.html, the HTML special characters &mid; and &setmn; are used.  They are not recognized by either Netscape 4.76 or IE 5.5 and I cannot find them in any of my HTML reference books.

Yes, I see that too.  I also see mentions of &pi; and &sigma;.

My guess is that they were added to generate proper PDF/Postscript.  I
just checked the PDF and Postscript for this in 7.1.  Some of the
symbols are OK, but many are not right, like o` for SIGMA.   It seems
that is not working 100% either.

Guys, how should we handle these?

We define an expansion for them.  E.g.,

ENTITY setmn "\"
