Hi Ken,
Do you know which parsers support this? Does Saxon, which is what I am
using?

I am building a CSV file from an XML source file using XSLT. The end
file needs to contain a british pound sign. In the XML

£ sing is encased in a CDATA section. I need to make the CSV
file ISO
as opposed UTF otherwise common viewers such as excel will
not read the
information in the CSV file properly.
If I parse the file with ISO selected as the output my
parser wont let
it. If I use UTF, it's fine but then no one can view the
file properly
with "standard" tools.
Any ideas?
Some tools support <xsl:output method="text"
encoding="iso-8859-1"/> to use
Latin 1 as the serialization for a text file.
That should give you what you need, but a processor is not obliged to
support it.
I hope this helps.
