Hi,
<snip />
... however the XSL automatically inputs
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16"> after
the header. Changing the Content
value to iso-8859-1 results in the correct rendering of the A0.
Where does
the XSL derive this META tag
value from? I've included an XML sample and the XSL code below.
Well, my gut feeling would certainly be to try and force the encoding
yourself through adding a META tag, rather than let your processor decide.
Since the HTML Rec requires one there anyway, I'd guess it's up to the
processor to choose one (so implementation-dependent)...
From the XSLT 1.0 spec 16.2 HTML Output :
<quote>
The encoding attribute specifies the preferred encoding to be used. If there
is a HEAD element, then the html output method should add a META element
immediately after the start-tag of the HEAD element specifying the character
encoding actually used.

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
