Re: [xsl] escaping/entities on the fly?

["Gabriel K." <gabriel.klappenbach@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well my output is this:
<xsl:output method="html" media-type="text/html" encoding="ISO-8859-1" 
indent="no" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

And it seems to do what you said in XSLT 1.0 which is what I'm using, for 
instance it converts  the word "kabelskep" to  "Kabelsk%C3%A5p"

The thing is I want it to be seen as "kabelskep" in the newly created mail 
when you klick the mailto link. Right now I'm getting some weird symbol 
instad of "e". How can I achive this?
I must admit this encoding stuff is confusing to me. :/

Non-Ascii characters in a URI should be escaped using the %HH convention,
rather than using XML escaping.

XSLT 2.0 provides a function escape-uri() to achieve this.

In 1.0, it happens automatically when you use the HTML serialization method
if the URI appears in an attribute such as <a href="..."> that is known to
require a URI as its value.
