If you ask for UTF-8 encoding you will get UTF-8 encoding, and of course
it will look like a garbled mess if you then display it using software
that can't display UTF-8.

Subject: [xsl] encoding and XSL Transformation
I'm having some trouble using the Xalan 2 Java parser for
parsing some XML
files I have that include non-ASCII characters. In which I
have characters
like right-tik ? left-tik long dash, etc. When I use Xalan UTF-8
encoding, it will make these characters into garbeled mess,
like Â$(A for right tick ,etc.
When I use james clark's xt parser. It will transform these
characters
nicely. Converting them to their hex representation ’
The SAX2SAX.java example provided with Xalan doesn't do too much help
either. In which it seems like it will always output a
supposed 'UTF-8'
format even though I change the <xsl:output
encoding="ISO-8859-1'/> etc.
Does anyone know how to get the Xalan parser to properly
transform these
characters to their proper hex value?
Thanks,
Earl Bingham
