Hello Everyone, and thanks in Advance for the help,
I'm sure everyone's sick and tired of answering special character
questions, but I am beginning to lose a lot of hair over here.
We have a database of xml files we have converted from html files.
These files are then being pumped out to our customers in a variety of
formats. For the HTML transform (using xsl) the coding I have works
great. However our buisness process requires all these html files to
be lumped into a content collection which are then indexed and such.
The problem is my xml -> html changes — and other such codes to
there equivalent -- character then the html -> content collection
doesn't know what the heck a -- is and i get the old box character.
I know everyones heard this before, but is there reallly any way to
get — and others to show in HTML as —.. Since I know that
our content collection has no problem with this.
Even better, if there is a way to do this, is there any problem with
defining elements in my schema, such as <emdash> so they can outputted
in a variety of forms for diffrent applications, ie — for html,
<0x02001> for inDesign.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'll post all my encoding as I
have a feeling the actual xml, xsl is not that relavent to my problem:
xsl:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>

transform in .net
Dim outFile As String = cls.htmPath & strAlpha & "\" &
strFileName & ".htm"
Dim fs As New FileStream(outFile, FileMode.Create)
'Create the XMLTextWriter for the FileStream
Dim xtw As New XmlTextWriter(fs, Encoding.Default)
xtw.Formatting = Formatting.Indented
xtw.Indentation = 4
'Transform the XML using the stylesheet
Dim xmlDoc As XPathDocument = New XPathDocument( _
cls.xmlPath & strAlpha & "\" & strFileName & ".xml",
XmlSpace.Preserve)
Dim xlsTran As XslTransform = New XslTransform
xlsTran.Load(cls.xslTemp)
xlsTran.Transform(xmlDoc, Nothing, xtw, Nothing)
xtw.Close()
