Re: [xsl] Yet Another Entity Ref question!

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

<xsl:template match="doc">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="label" /> <!-- ok! -->
   <xsl:variable name="label">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="label" />
   </xsl:variable>
   <xsl:value-of select="$label" />  <!-- not ok -->
   <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$label" />  <!-- ok
-->
</xsl:template>

which processor are you using?

d-o-e is optional so a processor can ignore it altogether, but if it
supports it at all I think that in xslt1 the character should keep the 
d-o-e property even when it goes through the variable.

Is your input form fixed?

It would be easier if your
<ent>xxx</ent>
only took entity names, as then you could convert them easily to
characters without using d-o-e just by looking them up in a document of
the form

<entity name="copy" char="&#169;"/>
...


There is no need to have an input form of
<ent>#x0A</ent>

as the user can more simply write
&#x0A;
which then doesn't need any processing at all at the xslt level.
