Antwort: WG: character escaping when using saxon 6.5.2 from java

Hi Daniel!

Try the following

Put this in your xsl  right after the xml declaration:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
      <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
]>

all you have to do now is use &nbsp; as you would writing html

<td>&nbsp;</td>

without the entity declaration you could also write
<td>&#160;</td>

Its the same result.

cheers
Manfred

Thema:   [xsl] WG: character escaping when using saxon 6.5.2 from java


hi folks,

i'm trying to use saxon 6.5.2 to carry out a xslt tansfomation (xml-->html)
from within a java application. however the escaping of "&nbsp" to enforce
empty table cells doesn't work.

this is an excerpt from the xslt-file:

               <tr>
                  <td>
                     <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>
                  </td>
                  <td>
                     <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>
                  </td>
                  <td id="Text06">MWE</td>
                  <td id="Text03" bgcolor="#FFFF99" colspan="5">
                     <xsl:value-of select="AC_WEIGHT/OWE/MWE/WEIGHT"/>
                  </td>
               </tr>



using saxon from java give me somethin like:

      <tr><?javax.xml.transform.disable-output-escaping ?>

        <td>&amp;nbsp;<?javax.xml.transform.enable-output-escaping ?>
</td><?javax.xml.transform.disable-output-escaping ?>

        <td>&amp;nbsp;<?javax.xml.transform.enable-output-escaping ?>
</td>
        <td id="Text06">MWE</td>
        <td id="Text03" bgcolor="#FFFF99" colspan="5">642.07</td>
      </tr>



whereas using saxon from the command line (i.e. java ...) gives me:

         <tr>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
            <td id="Text06">MWE</td>
            <td id="Text03" bgcolor="#FFFF99" colspan="5">642.07</td>
         </tr>



i'd appreciate any help - thanks.

regards
Daniel.
