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

2004-06-15 07:46:45
For HTML you would normally use a <meta> element:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

or an HTTP header. 


this works in most cases. question is if the <?xml version="1.0"?> would 
implicitly mean encoding="utf-8" though, does somebody know?
i normalley ommit the xml declaration for XHTML as some browsers (notably IE6) 
behave slightly different with it.

Betreff: [xsl] declare the charset by an output element not the xml
declaration?


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

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<xsl:processing-instruction name='output'>
  <xsl:text>method="html"
</xsl:text><xsl:text>encoding="</xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="$etc/et[attribute::name = 'charset']" /><xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:processing-instruction>
<title></title>
</head>

<body>
  <xsl:apply-templates />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
