[xsl] RETAINING THE ENTITY NAMES IN THE RESULTING TREE

Greetings all.

My task is transforming the XML into another XML tree. During the transformation I am loosing the generic names of the special characters. For example, in my source xml I have an entity called "α" but in the resulting tree I am getting only junk characters instead. But I need to maintain the 'α' as is in the resulting xml.

I am using Saxon 8.0 for this transformation, and the codes are given below:

MY INPUT XML (main.xml)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="main.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "ent.dtd">
<root>
<center><h2>sss</h2></center>
<center><h2>&alpha;</h2></center>
<center><h2>&beta;</h2></center>
<center><h2>&ndash;</h2></center>
</root>

MY XSL (data.xsl) <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version='1.0'> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="root"> <html> <body> <xsl:for-each select="center/child::*"> <center> <xsl:element name="{name(.)}"> <xsl:if test="@*"> <xsl:attribute name="{name(@*)}"><xsl:value-of select="string(@*)"/></xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </center> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>


MY RESULTING XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<body>
<center>
<h2>sss</h2>
</center>
<center>
<h2>N1</h2>
</center>
<center>
<h2>N2</h2>
</center>
<center>
<h2>b"</h2>
</center>
</body>
</html>

MY COMMAND LINE ARGUMENT
E:\>java -jar saxon8.jar -ds data.xml main.xsl

Please advice, how to retain the generic entity names in the resulting xml.


Thanks and regards
