Well, I'm feeling pretty stupid now. (too many late nights, that's my excuse) Thanks for steering me in the right direction with the encoding. Thanks also for the other helpful replies. Regards, Ross. -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of David Carlisle Sent: 29 October 2001 11:33 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Escaping/converting special characters > it a stupid idea to put all the data in CDATA tags? It won't work. The _only_ characters that CDATA affects are < and & it automatically quotes these. Every other character is unchanged. If £ is invalid outside the CDATA it will be similarly invalid inside. All you need to do is correctly identify the encoding you are using. Your email had a £ in, and it appeared as a pound sign as your email header included charset="iso-8859-1" in its headers. It is just the same for XML, if your files are encoded in latin 1 you need to declare that by having the following at the start of the file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
