I have to give data to a very old application, which can only read SGML.

My data structure is really simple (records of filename, title), but

I hope that you don't have any empty elements.

contains characters that are not ASCII. So I have to translate them to use entities (I think SGML has a set of declared entities for characters with accents, as &eacute;, @agrave;, and so on).

I'd like the file could be read by XML parsers too, and I'm looking for a method to produce an XML that is also SGML. I think to use XSL with characters map, but how could I define the embeded DTD, with all entities defined ?

Use the "XML Entity Definitions for Characters":
https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/

It also has an XSLT2 stylesheet for mapping from Unicode characters to
entity references.
