The Euro symbol is not decimal 128 in Unicode. It is decimal 128 in some
Microsoft character set whose name I have forgotten. The Unicode character 128
is not a legal HTML character.
You need to make sure that the character encoding of the XML file is correctly
declared: if you are using a particular Microsoft codepage, then you need to
say so in the XML declaration.
There was a significant controversy in W3C about the rule that invalid HTML
characters must be treated as a fatal error by XSLT processors. I argued for
leniency, but the view that prevailed was that the sooner you catch misencoded
files (or files whose encoding is misdeclared), the better it is for the user
in the long run.

Subject: [xsl] Tranformation failed with Saxon for "Illegal
HTML character"
Hi all,
i use Saxon ver. 8.7.3 as engine to make xslt transformations.
Here’s a sample code:
public static void exampleFromStream(String sourceID, String xslID)
throws TransformerException,
TransformerConfigurationException,
FileNotFoundException {
// Create a transform factory instance.
TransformerFactory tfactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance(); new Boolean(false));
InputStream xslIS =
new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(xslID));
StreamSource xslSource = new StreamSource(xslIS);
// The following line would be necessary if the
stylesheet contained
// an xsl:include or xsl:import with a relative URL
// xslSource.setSystemId(xslID);
// Create a transformer for the stylesheet.
Transformer transformer = tfactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
InputStream xmlIS =
new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(sourceID));
StreamSource xmlSource = new StreamSource(xmlIS);
// The following line would be necessary if the source
document contained
// a call on the document() function using a relative URL
// xmlSource.setSystemId(sourceID);
// Transform the source XML to System.out.
transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(new
PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("c://test.html"))));
}
If I apply the transformation to an XML file which include
the “€” (euro symbol, decimal 128) I got an error message saying that:
ERROR AT ELEMENT CONSTRUCTOR <SPAN> ON LINE 69 OF :
SERE0014: ILLEGAL HTML CHARACTER: DECIMAL 128 ; SYSTEMID: ;
LINE#: 69; COLUMN#: -1
NET.SF.SAXON.TRANS.DYNAMICERROR: ILLEGAL HTML CHARACTER: DECIMAL 128
AT
NET.SF.SAXON.EVENT.HTMLEMITTER.WRITEESCAPE(HTMLEMITTER.JAVA:321) ….
Anyone can help me?
Is there a way to tell the transformer just to let unchanged
and not interpret those special chars??
Thanks in advance to all,
Bye
Gian
