Re: newbie question - process xml file having special chars with xsl

Dave,

Do we infer correctly from this that what you really want to do is change all accented characters into corresponding unaccented forms, while also transforming your document markup?

Changing 'ü' to 'u' throughout a string is easy, and can be done over any string using the translate() function. Changing 'ü' to 'ue' (a more correct requirement, I believe) is somewhat tougher (examine translate() and you'll see why) and requires (in XSLT 1.0) recursive string processing. Fortunately that code has been written and shared, and should not be hard to find in the FAQ or at Jeni's site at www.jenitennison.com, I believe....

Cheers,
Wendell

I am trying to read the value in the xml file and print it out in the html file, something like tranformation.

xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<myroot xmlns:xy="http://my.com/data_xy";>
<xy:nd1>Müller</xy:nd1>
</myroot>

html file like:
<html>
<table>
<tr><td>Muller</td></tr>
</table>
</html>

Thanks a lot.
