The &mdash; entity does not display correctly in the rendered docs.  It displays as '--' (two hyphens), not as '' (a proper em dash).  This problem does not occur on the main website pages, so this suggests that something is not quite right in the build process for the documentation.

How-To-Repeat: For an example of '--', look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/emacs.html (3rd paragraph).  For an example of the proper rendering on the website: http://www.freebsd.org/advocacy/whyusefreebsd.html (4th paragraph).
