RE: Character entities in attribute values

I'm working with non-English documentation and am ending up 
with character entities in attribute values after an XML->XML 
conversion.


What exactly do you mean by "character entities"? There is no such thing
in XML. Perhaps you mean "character references", e.g. "&#x202A;"?

This is fine, but in a later XML->HTML 
conversion, I need to output those attribute values as text, 
and the ampersand in the entities is being escaped so that 
the output text looks something like this: &amp;eacute; 
instead of this: &eacute;

No sequence of pure XSLT transformations can lead to this result, unless
you use disable-output-escaping somewhere along the line, in which case
you deserve what you get.
