(1) using encoding="us-ascii" on xsl:output will force non-ASCII characters
to be represented using numeric character references. They won't necessarily
be identical to those in your input, for example they may be decimal rather
than hex or vice versa. (If you're using Saxon, there's an extension that
gives you control over this)
(2) need to see your code to see what you're doing wrong to get this effect.

Subject: [xsl] Special characters and Transformation
Hello,
I have two questions:
1) If I have an XML input file like this:
<root>
<Text>
<junk>xxx</junk>
<tag>Als die ersten Städte zu einer
Größe heranwuchsen</tag>
<junk2>xxx</junk2>
</Text>
</root>
I would like to skip the <junk> only transform the <tag>;
however the output shall still have the special character as
it is there in the input file. Unfortunately the special
characters get translated into the proper German characters.
That is:
<root>
<Text>
<tag>Als die ersten Städte zu einer Größe
heranwuchsen</tag>
</Text>
</root>
This is my XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:element name="root">
<xsl:for-each select="Text">
<xsl:element name="Text">
<xsl:element name="tag">
<xsl:value-of
select="tag"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
How can I avoid it?
2) If I had a namespace on the root:
<root xmlns="http://www.fo.com">
<Text>
<junk>xxx</junk>
<tag>Als die ersten Städte zu einer
Größe heranwuchsen</tag>
<junk2>xxx</junk2>
</Text>
</root>
The way I do it (not shown here) is that I get the namespace
behind each single tag. But how do I modify my XSL so that
the output is like this:
<root xmlns="http://www.fo.com">
<Text>
<tag>Als die ersten Städte zu einer
Größe heranwuchsen </tag>
</Text>
</root>
Many Thanks for help,
Houman
