Corrupt?
I get a small square like the charset does not have the correct
character reference.
The only browser that can render it seems to be Konquror, while I am all
for this the spec is that it works on IE6 and Netscape 4 and above.
I have tried using ® and ™ in my XML doc but the ™ gets
transformed to this "corrupt" character while ® stays the same.
I have solved it by defining the following entities:
<!ENTITY tm "<![CDATA[™]]>">
<!ENTITY copy "<![CDATA[©]]>">
<!ENTITY reg "<![CDATA[®]]>">
I have also disabled output escaping in the XSL doc and this works
great. However these entitey are no good for using in CDATA elements. So
I have to define a new set of entities for that. As you can see it is
going to get messy.

Hello,
I have an XSL doc that get transformed into html using an XML doc to
populate data elements within the XSL, nothing new here! However
something is converting references to © and ® into ® and
some other symbol that is corrupt. I have not defined any entities which
Corrupt?
will account for this transformation.
You are using the HTML output method (possibly implicitly), therefore the
XSLT processor is allowed to use HTML entities.
Does any body know at which stage the values © etc. are being
changed.
I am using xalan.jar
