Hello,
 I am new to XSL. I have a strange problem regarding UTF-8 encoding of
extended charset.

My XML has a format as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE ProfileDetails SYSTEM "Prisma.dtd">
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="UserManual.xsl"?>
<ProfileDetails>
<VersionInfo>1.0.0</VersionInfo>
<Identification>
<Name>&Text_1;</Name>
<Description>&Text_2;</Description>
<DriverType>&Text_3;</DriverType>
<Version>&Text_4;</Version>
</Identification>
<ProfileDetails>
where the Tags and Entities Text_1...are taken from the DTD file.

The UserManual.XSL has a parameters which has to have a trademark
symbol(#153):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:param name="GUI">User Interface of Prisma&#153;</xsl:param>
<xsl:template match="ProfileDetails">
 <html>
  <title><xsl:value-of select="//Identification/Name"/></title>
  <body>
   <xsl:value-of select="$GUI"/>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="Identification/Description"/>
  </body>
 </html>
</xsl:template>

My problem is that, when it is viewed in a IE6 browser, the parameter "GUI"
displays:
User Interface of PrismaÂ(tm) which is not it should be. I want to eliminate
"Â" char from the html view. how do i go about this?
Help needed asap.

rgds,
Gnanendra.
