I also use msxml3 and <xsl:text>&_#160;</xsl:text> Works fine.

&_#160; = &_#xa0; isn't it?

Assunto: SV: [xsl] a quick question re: &nbsp; html entity

Well, my processor (msxml3) translates <xsl:text>&#xa0;</xsl:text> into
a
regular space, which means that the browser will gladly use that space
for
breaking long lines. Exactly what I don't want.
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text> works
though

Ämne: RE: [xsl] a quick question re: &nbsp; html entity



how does one insert an &nbsp; into the result tree (I'm 
producing HTML)?

I think we've had two whole weeks without anyone asking that - it was
wonderful.

for that matter, how does one insert non-xml standard(?) 
entities into a 
result tree?


You can't insert entities into a tree, the tree always holds the
expansion of the entity. In the case of &nbsp;, the expansion is the
single character xA0, so you can insert it by writing
<xsl:text>&#xa0;</xsl:text>. It might or might not be serialized as
&nbsp;, depending on your processor, but the browser will do the right
thing with it regardless.
