Thank you. I thought I could get the stylesheet to declare the
'missing' entity in the xml file but that is the duty of the xml

needed on the output.
Ouch!
That is not the use case for disable-output-escaping="yes".
The entity " " is from an entity set used by HTML. The HTML
serialization recognizes this and is supposed to use the entity name
when the result tree is serialized:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-xslt-xquery-serialization-20070123/#HTML_CHARDATA
Entity references and character references SHOULD be used only
where the character is not present in the selected encoding, or
where the visual representation of the character is unclear (as
with , for example).
However you declare or use the entity in the XML file, if the result
tree text node has Š and you are using HTML serialization, then
you should get what you want.
Now if you want to serialize your result tree as XML then you may be
stuck: using disable-output-escaping="yes" for will produce a
non-well-formed result because there is no entity
declaration. Unless, perhaps, you are using standard XSLT to add the
DOCTYPE declaration pointing to an external declaration subset that
includes a declaration for that entity.
I hope this helps.
