Re: [xsl] encoding question/problem

Thank you David,

After posting this for the second time (sorry), I
checked around and saw that YAWC was outputting the
intermediate XML doc in UTF-8. I have changed it to
use iso-8859-1 and everything is working well now.

I would still appreciate some links to a few sites
that explain encoding well so that I can try to fully
grok it.
