Subject: RE: [xsl] XHTML output and special character entities From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 09:06:16 -0000 |
XHTML is XML, which has no pre-defined "character entities" for characters such as ü - therefore they will never be used in serialized XML or XHTML output. You can force the use of numeric character references by specifying the output encoding as US-ASCII (or in Saxon, by saying saxon:character-representation="decimal"). Why do you need these characters to be represented as entities?
