Evety XML application must understand utf8 so that is really the best to use, but if you are seeing accented capital As then you are looking at it in a system that thinks it is latin 1. If you can't fix teh system to understand utf8 then you can probably getxslt to output in latin 1 by adding <xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1"/> However in your case this will not work as a) 8482 is not in latin 1 and b) you are using the text output method in plain text there is no possibility of encoding characters that are not in the encoding as you have no & markup syntax, so you need to choose an encoding that contains all the characters that you are using. As utf8 includes all of unicode this really is a good choice here. > disable-output-escaping="yes" It's almost always a bad idea to use disable-output-escaping but here it does nothing at all as you are using teh text output method which never does any XML escaping anyway, so there is nothing to disable. If you really mean you want to see & # 1 2 3 4; syntax on output, then you want the xml output method, not text, and choose any encoding that does not include that character (eg latin 1) David -- http://www.dcarlisle.demon.co.uk/matthew ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
