Subject: [xsl] Smart Quote Encoding From: "Roger L. Cauvin" <roger@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 11:56:38 -0500 |
I am using Saxon 6.3 and trying to transform some XML using a stylesheet. The XML is a log file that logs incoming text-only e-mail messages. The messages sometimes contain special/nonstandard characters, such as smart quotes. If I want to be able to log the verbatim messages yet still be able to apply XSLT, what is my best strategy? With XML such as: <message-received> <from><![CDATA[John Spong <jspong@xxxxxxxxx>]]><text> <text><![CDATA[Descartes said, I think, therefore I am.]]><text> </message-received> (The characters are smart quotes.) I receive the following error when I try to apply transformations: Fatal error reported by XML parser: illegal XML character U+18 URL: file:/C:/hello/goodbye.log Line: 8 Column: 116 Error org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: illegal XML character U+18: illegal XML character U+18 Transformation failed The XML file contains the following encoding declaration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> I have also tried UTF-8 and US-ASCII encodings, with the same results. How do I handle any arbitrary text yet still be able to apply transformations? -- Roger L. Cauvin Cauvin, Inc. Product Management/Market Research
