If I am lucky there's only a 1 hour delay between my mail being handed off to their server and it being delivered back to me through the list. They are using Sendmail for their MTA, which we found at hyperreal/apache.org was very inefficient at delivering mail for multiple, high-traffic mailing lists. We switched to qmail a long time ago and never looked back. It has been great. > >1) We use   for nbsp. What is the difference between this one and > Š? Using 'x' is unicode? 160 is decimal. x160 is hexadecimal. An XSLT document is an XML document. Character references are explained in the XML 1.0 Recommendation. > I dont have to specify encoding attribute for them,right? No. Character references in XML are referring to ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 "Universal Character Set" characters by their code points as defined in that standard. > >2)What is the difference between ISO-10646 and Unicode?. ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 (+ amendments) and The Unicode Standard version 2.0 are essentially equivalent. The specifications are developed in tandem but are published by different bodies. Go to amazon.com or your local computer book shop and buy The Unicode Standard 3.0. It will have everything you need from ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993, and more. > >3)What is the way to use the unicode characters in my xsl?. > By using 'x' right? It doesn't matter. > >4) Are there only 2 encoding in xsl?. > utf-8 and iso-8859-1 or can I use up to iso-8859-9? Any XML document, whether it is XSL or not, can use any encoding. In order to be assured of being readable by a conforming XML processor, the encoding must be UTF-8 or UTF-16. Some XML processors accept other encodings.
