Subject: outputting entity references From: "DuCharme, Robert" <Robert.DuCharme@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 11:46:17 -0400 |
I've figured out how to output entity references with XSLT. There is some ugliness involved (i.e. disable-output-escaping), but it's encapsulated in an entity declaration in the stylesheet's doctype declaration, leaving the stylesheet document itself looks pretty clean. A sample: <!DOCTYPE stylesheet [ <!ENTITY ntilde "<xsl:text disable-output-escaping='yes'>&ntilde;</xsl:text>"> ]> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output doctype-system="mydecls.dtd"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <p>The Spanish word for "Spain" is España.</p> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This will output the following: <p>The Spanish word for "Spain" is España.</p> Of course, mydecls.dtd needs a proper declaration of ntilde for the output document to be considered valid. Also, this entity reference won't work inside of an attribute value or an xsl:text element, because the entity substitution will attempt to insert the xsl:element declared as the entity's replacement text there, which is illegal. Still, I know this will be handy. Suggestions? Insults? (I think most would agree that the subject of the usefulness of outputting specific entity references has been discussed enough on the list.)
