Re: [xsl] recognize character entities

[Frank Marent <frank.marent@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

short feedback on this topic. thanks for everybody helping me. we are  
now successful with the following statement that selects elements  
starting with special characters (can probably be optimized but works):

    <xsl:template match="*[matches(substring(text()[1], 1, 1),  
'[&#592;-&#99999;]')]">
        <xsl:copy>
            ...
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

strange is that the matches() regex allows only decimal values as  
range. 592 represents here hex 0250 IPA characters that is the  
beginning of special characters for us.
