This is partially an Excel question, but I'm writing a stylesheet to

field
has embedded newlines, when I view the result in Excel, the end of
each
embedded line has a "question mark in block" character.  How do I
have
to massage the transformed xml data to prevent that?

Maybe using
   

for carriage return/line break suffices to make Excel happy.

Thanks, but that doesn't appear to help.  It results in two consecutive
"question mark in block" characters".  No response on the Excel
newsgroup so far.
