Hi,
This is a generic question about what can be the best way to solve a
simple problem. I have a database where i store different
texts, that i
export in xml an then transform in different formats using xslt.
1) Most of this texts are in Italian, so i have to use
entities in html
transformations (some user may not be able to support iso-8859-1)
2) i should need to transform texts in plain .txt or wap or something
oother, so may be a bad idea to use html entities directly in the xml
input processed via xslt
3) there are many html entities that i use rarely (arrows, Greek
characters,ecc), but can be usefull in some cases...
more specificly the question is:
-> is there in xslt any macro instruction similar to the php
htmlenties(): a function that transform any special character of a
string in the corresponding html entity?
No.
->if not, what can i do?
If your XSLT processor support ASCII output, use for serialization (encoding
attribute on xsl:output element). Non-ASCII characters will be serialized as
character entities or entity references.
Cheers,
Jarno
