Re: [xsl] Character encoding/representation from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8

["Bridger Dyson-Smith bdysonsmith@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Thank you all so much for your time and trouble. A sed -e
'1s/iso-8859-1/UTF-8/' seems to correct the problem (I can't believe I
didn't try this when I initially started looking over the original files,
I'm usually guilty of reaching for a CLI tool) -- Steven and Wolfgang got
me pointed in the right direction. I appreciate all of the helpful
suggestions.

Best,
Bridger
