Hi,
Oner of our XSLT pages has been outputing a question mark where a bullet would have been expected.
Are you sure it really is a QUESTION MARK, or is it a bullet character and the program you use to view the document either uses the wrong encoding, e.g. UTF-8 vs. ISO-8859-1, or could it be that the font you use doesn't have a glyph for the bullet character and displays it as a question mark.
I say a bullet would have been expected because we have another page which was showing the bullet snd not the question mark, and that page doesn't use XSLT for the transformation.
As it is dificult to determine which characters might get input in the XML is there a way of handling symbols at least as accurately as the straight HTML page?
I don't understand the question. Does accuracy mean using entitiy references? If determing which characters you have in your input XML documents, you should probably get an editor/viewer that loads the document using the correct character encoding and also can display non-ASCII characters correctly.
