Re: [xsl] Exception thrown by OutputURIResolver: Invalid syntax for base URI: Illegal character

Thank you Michael. I was trying to explore the possibility of
preserving the directory names I am working with on disk, but seeing
that the only way out is to write another OutputURIResolver, then I'll
just rename all files with apprropriate URIs.

Just to give you a bit more context, I have a collection of digital
objects on disks with associated metadata in a database. I am moving
the metadata from the database to XML files and was basically trying
to preserve the original direct

I think that if you want to use filenames that aren't valid as URIs you will
probably need to write your own OutputURIResolver. You might be able to get
around the problem by %HH-escaping the special characters, but I suspect it
will then write a filename containing the %HH escape sequence.

A quick check online [1] seems to suggest that its something to do
with square brackets in file paths, and true to that, some of my file
paths have '[' and ']' characters in them. How do I resolve this?
