Hi -

I would like the encoding of the output XML of my XSLT stylesheet to match
the encoding of the input XML. Is this possible or can I only set the
encoding to a specific value using <xsl:output encoding="utf-8"/>?

As Ken points out you can't get this information from the XSLT processor. However, one could easily write an extension function to examine the input document directly to find the encoding declaration. I don't know of anyone who's done this but it wouldn't be hard to do.


Cheers,

Eliot
