Michel, > I have a problem > to get some characters that are "special" for LaTeX into a form that is > acceptable (e.g., $, %, #, &, etc. have a special meaning). So the easiest > would be to escape such characters when they get transferred Actually for machine generated latex there is not really a lot of point in leaving those with special meanings. I would just make all of those normal letters in latex (ie \catcode`\$=12 etc) and not bother messing around quoting stuff. Similarly > to the result tree, _if necessary_. The latter is important, since > inside verbatim-like environments the characters can be used as-is, There is certainly no need to use verbatim environments for machine generated latex. They are a minor aid to authoring but complicate latex greatly and in this situation you just need to switch to a monospaced font, you don't need to change all of latex's parsing rules. However... > Before I go off and write a set > of Java routines using xt's extension mechanism, You can do string replacements just in XSLT without relying on extension. eg to change $ to \$ and % to \% and # to \# <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0" result-ns=""> <xsl:import href="http://andover.nag.co.uk/~davidc/verb.xsl"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:call-template name="string-replace"> <xsl:param name="to" expr="'\$'"/> <xsl:param name="from" expr="'$'"/> <xsl:param name="string"> <xsl:call-template name="string-replace"> <xsl:param name="to" expr="'\%'"/> <xsl:param name="from" expr="'%'"/> <xsl:param name="string"> <xsl:call-template name="string-replace"> <xsl:param name="to" expr="'\#'"/> <xsl:param name="from" expr="'#'"/> <xsl:param name="string" expr="."/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:param> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:param> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> would convert <para> hello world (%) (#) ($) </para> to hello world (\%) (\#) (\$) David XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
