normalize

Name

normalize -- Normalize the str according to the SGML declaration in effect

Synopsis

(normalize str)

Description

Performs SGML general name normalization on the string; used to compare attribute names and generic identifiers correctly according to the SGML declaration in effect; this is necessary since XML is case-sensitive but the reference concrete syntax and many SGML DTDs are not.
