Re: [xsl] Combining use-character-maps and normalization-form="NFC" attributes produce unwanted output

2016-02-12 09:42:02
Even the solitary identity transformation of the semicolon 0x3B
     <xsl:output-character character=";" string=";"/>
results in a translation to U+037E of all semicolons. Seems to be a bug.

Dear all,



For some reasons, I need to escape specific characters in the output and
also need to produce normalised Unicode in NFC.

Here is my input :

<inputText>”; ;</ inputText >  => which is \u201D + \u003B + \u0020 +
\u003B



Here is the output properties of my stylesheet :

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"

        indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no"

        use-character-maps="unsupported_characters"

        normalization-form="NFC"

    />



The character-map definition :

<xsl:character-map name="unsupported_characters">

        <xsl:output-character character="&#8220;" string="&quot;"/>

        <xsl:output-character character="&#8221;" string="&quot;"/>

    </xsl:character-map>



With this template :

<xsl:template match="/ ">

    <shortDescription><xsl:value-of select=" inputText
"/></shortDescription>

</xsl:template>



Now the output :

<shortDescription>"; ;</shortDescription> => which is \u0022 + \u037E +
\u0020 + \u003B



Why the semicolon (\u003B) is translated into Greek question mark (\u037E)
just after the escaped quote while the next semi colon is kept ?

But the right question is why my semicolon is escaped into Greek question
mark ?



Just to go further :

1- If I do not use character-map the result is :

<shortDescription>”; ;</shortDescription> => which is \u201D + \u003B +
\u0020 + \u003B



2- If I do not normalize the Unicode (without normalization-form="NFC"
attribute)

<shortDescription>"; ;</shortDescription> => which is \u0022 + \u003B +
\u0020 + \u003B



Thanks for the help

Lancelot
