accent

If a standard entity is available to denote an accented character, then this must be used. However, occasionally an accented character needs to be created for which no pre-defined entity is available. In these cases the accent construction can be used.

accent contains two sub-elements, ac (accented character) and am (accent mark). For example, the following character

emacron glyph

could be encoded as

<accent><ac>e</ac><am>&macr;</am></accent>

However, because an entity &emacr; is available, the entity should be used rather than the accent construction above.
