You can use numeric character references like € without declaring them. If the result of your transformation is displayed incorrectly, this is because the software that is displaying the output (for example a browser or a text editor) thinks the file is in one encoding when it is actually in another (alternatively, it might be using a font that doesn't contain a glyph for that character). The answer is either to change the encoding specified in xsl:output to match what your display software expects, or to change the configuration of your display software so that it handles the actual encoding of the file. The details of how to do this are highly specific to your choice of software. Michael Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
