RE: declare the charset by an output element not the xml declaration?

2004-06-16 01:11:34
Hallo,
the encoding is placed in two files:
1. the xml file: 
2. the xsl stylesheet

Is it possible to place the encoding in the xml declaration of the xml file
to "ISO-8859-1", set no encoding in the xml declaration of the the xsl
stylesheet and create the html output with a meta tag with charset
"ISO-8859-1"?
markus

You are creating an output element in your html, which html is not going
to understand. You need to use a meta tag, as previously mentioned.

The other problem is that by default your output is going to be in UTF-8,
unless you have set the serializer to output something different. For
example, in Java you can use the Transformer.setOutputProperty() method to
override the encoding in the stylesheet.

Hallo,
we want to hold the charset of the stylesheet flexibel. Is it well formed
to
give no encoding in the xml declaration but in the output element?

Many thanks,
markus
