Subject: RE: [xsl] Output character references for all but one character From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 13:47:35 +0100 |
I think you should be able to achieve this by selecting iso-8859-1 as the encoding, and using a character map that forces NBSP to be output as  , and similarly for all other characters that you want output as numeric references. With HTML output, Saxon has an option (saxon:character-representation - see http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/output-extras.html ) that forces non-ASCII characters to be represented as character references, but (a) it applies to all non-ASCII characters, and (b) it doesn't work for XML output. If you're really determined then you could write your own serializer by subclassing Saxon's XMLEmitter; you would only need to override one method.
