RE: weird character B , how to make it disappear?

2004-01-02 02:23:25
I'm trying to get a raquo character to appear, but I'm
getting a  Â before it.
How do I get rid of this   ??

I've got the following for my xsl file at the top:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='US-ASCII'?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
      <!ENTITY raquo  "&#x000BB;">
      <!ENTITY sep    " ">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
      <xsl:output method="html" encoding="US-ASCII"/>

then when I want the raquo to appear, my usage is:

&sep;&raquo;&sep;

but thru the browser, I'm getting as output:

»

how do I make that  disappear?
I've also tried to change the encoding to iso-8859-1,
and the entity reference to &x187; but with no
success.  any help greatly appreciated.

It appears that the output is being generated in UTF-8, despite what you
requested in the xsl:output. This might be because the XSLT processor
isn't actually doing the serializing: can you explain which XSLT
processor you are using and how you are invoking it?

The second problem is that although the output is in UTF-8, it isn't
being recognized as UTF-8 by the browser. Does the generated HTML
include a <meta> element defining the character encoding, and if so,
what does it say?
