I've taken the XmlTextWriter out of the picture and am now accessing the
byte[] output stream directly. I think what I'm seeing is a misbehaving
processor, but being new to this I'm not certain. The XSL and XML files are
included below. Here is the output of the processor with non-printable
bytes output in \xAA format:
Output when xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1":
<html>\x0Ahello_\xA0_world\x0A</html>
Output when xsl:output encoding="utf-8":
\xEF\xBB\xBF<html>\x0Ahello_\xC2\xA0_world\x0A</html>
---------- test.xsl ----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
hello_ _world
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
------------------------------
---------- test.xml ----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<bookmarks>
</bookmarks>
------------------------------
Having access to the byte stream I can obviously translate non-printable
character to � format, but I thought that the whole point of the
xsl:output encoding was so that this would be done automatically? Have I
got any of this wrong?
