Re: encoding and XSL Transformation

2002-09-10 05:36:54

s. 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, 

that isn't a garbled mess that _is_ the utf-8 encoding of those
characters. If you don't want utf-8 ask for something else, for example
latin1 (iso-8859-1)

Does anyone know how to get the Xalan parser to properly transform these 
characters to their proper hex value?

Most XSLT systems only use numeric character refernces for characters
that are not in the requested output encoding. utf-8 includes the whole
of unicode so if you ask for utf-8 encoding characterfrefs need never be
needed.
