Re: [xsl] character maps

The technicalities have been explained and answered, but I just wonder
why an UTF-8 encoding has to be converted to to NCR. It's quite unlikely
that any XML processor isn't capable of reading UTF-8 - day 1 of Unicode
is long past.

(Just being curious.)

Hello, I have a situation where I need to convert UTF-8 characters to
their NCR (numeric character representation). I am trying to use
character maps but can't get it to work. My program is written in
XSLT version 2 which I am running with SAXON 9he on windows 7.


As Ken already commented XSLT works with teh Uniocde characters not
their UTF8 representation (By the time XSLT is processing them the
original file encoding is not relevant).

If you use

<xsl:output  encoding="US-ASCII" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

then all non ASCII characters will be output using NCR automatically.
