I'm writing a XSLT that has to translate XML to plain ascii text.
The XML contains unicode characters, possibly any of them. I cannot
control the authoring so I must handle whatever is thrown at me.
I have a few dozen specially know character translations for things
like 1/4 and degrees unicode symbols.
But I have a need to "catch all" charactors that are not mapped
explicitly (rather then map explicitly the entiure unicode set) and
translate them into something like "<UNKNOWN CHARACTER>"
Any suggestions on how to do this ? I could trivially write a post-
processor to do this (maybe a dozen lines of C or java) but if
there's a feature directly in XSLT I'd love to try that.
Any ideas welcome !
If you choose to do post-processing, no need to write a program: you
can use 'iconv' .
