(Beginning to see something of Tony's sense of humour too :-) <book><title>{!@#*%}</title> <para>You're a {!@<#*%}.</para> <para>Yeah, well take your {!@<#*%} and shove it up your {!#%*#@@!%}.</para> </book> - Nice one Tony! With Tony's permission, I'll have a go at extracting some definitions for the jargon buster, but I (guessing like many) am still unclear as the the source of these problems in a ?typical? XSLT production path. When I sit down at an editor, and wish to enter some character which is not on my keyboard; wanting to present it such that it reads on 'most' browsers in html, whats the sequence I must consider? Michael, Arjun, do you have time to paint the picture? Perhaps an example using a single byte character and one which requires two bytes. It might give others less cause to come back to the list repeatedly? Pointing out the pitfalls along the way? what sequence should I go through? What are the reference sources? (btw Arjun, from http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html , the bdf links seem to return something strange, I can't unzip it) In hope; DaveP XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
