    If the same happens to you, I am afraid linuxdoc-tools is not the program
    you expect, but your remarks are valid anyway. Please let me know if the
    same happens to your .gpx file after linking as favourites.sgml. By the
    way, sgmltools is no longer available in Debian.

    Thanks for the feedback. Indeed I get the same output as you after
    symlinking to a file with an sgml extension.

    For context, I wanted to edit the favourites.gpx file used by
    OSMand. But I heard OSMand is quite fussy about spec
    compliance. E.g. bad things would happen if I add a description to a
    favourite (a point of interest) which literally contains an ampersand (“&”), which should be written as “&amp;” My edits caused OSMand to behave poorly. So I was hoping linuxdoc-tools could help me find
    characters that I need to encode for sgml compliance.

    Anyway, that’s not your problem but I wanted to give some context on
    what led me to use linuxdoc-tools on a GPX file. Glad my bug report
    was useful nonetheless.
