[xsl] character maps

[Craig Sampson <Craig.Sampson@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,
  I have a situation where I need to convert UTF-8 characters to their NCR
(numeric character representation). I am trying to use character maps but
can't get it to work. My program is written in XSLT version 2 which I am
running with SAXON 9he on windows 7.

Here's a snippet of the file to be converted: (where the special character is
a lower case greek mu ( u + 03BC ))

<foreign><mml:math
xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";><mml:mi>l</mml:mi></mml:math><
/foreign>

My character-map contains:

<xsl:output-character character="&#xCEBC;" string="&amp;#x03BC;"/> <!-- lc mu
-->

But my output still contains the mu character in its original state.

I've tried referencing the character-map from a xsl:results-document element:

        <xsl:result-document href="{concat('equation\MathML-',$mCnt,'.xml')}"
                    indent="yes" method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"
                    use-character-maps="LCgreek"
                    doctype-public="-//SAS//DTD authoring 13.0//EN"
                    doctype-system="authoring.dtd">

And I've tried referencing the character-map in xsl:output and then
referencing the output in the result-document:

<xsl:output name="mathOut"
            method="xml" indent="yes"  encoding="UTF-8"
            use-character-maps="LCgreek"
            doctype-system="authoring.dtd"
            doctype-public="-//SAS//DTD authoring 13.0//EN"/>

        <xsl:result-document format="mathOut"
href="{concat('equation\MathML-',$mCnt,'.xml')}">

What am I doing wrong?

Here's the complete character-map:

<xsl:character-map name="LCgreek">
  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCEB1;" string="&amp;#x03B1;"/> <!-- lc
alpha -->
  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCEB2;" string="&amp;#x03B2;"/> <!-- lc

  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCF83;" string="&amp;#x03C3;"/> <!-- lc

  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCF84;" string="&amp;#x03C4;"/> <!-- lc

  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCF85;" string="&amp;#x03C5;"/> <!-- lc

  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCF86;" string="&amp;#x03C6;"/> <!-- lc

  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCF87;" string="&amp;#x03C7;"/> <!-- lc
chi -->
  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCF88;" string="&amp;#x03C8;"/> <!-- lc
psi -->
  <xsl:output-character character="&#xCF89;" string="&amp;#x03C9;"/> <!-- lc
omega -->
</xsl:character-map>
