Manny GarciaSubject: bad character in XSLT preview
Author: Manny Garcia
Date: 12 Aug 2002 04:30 PM
For some reason, a strange character gets inserted in front of a ® (reg) or © (copyright) when I run the scenario and preview the output. But if I look at the code in "Preview Text" mode, the character does not appear there. The character is a hex C2 (A with a ^ on top). If I "Export Preview" to a file, the hex C2 appears. Is this a bug in eXcelon?
Thanks,
Manny Garcia

Sorry, I should have also said I am using eXcellon 4.0 build 091, IE6, and the Xalan processor.

There isn't much we can say until we can take a look at the XSLT+XML you
are running; this isn't a known issue, so we need to understand what's
going on.

Feel free to send a testcase to my email address if you prefer.

Thanks,
Minollo

Hi Minollo,

Try this sample:

(?xml version='1.0'?)
(xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform")
(xsl:output method="html" /)
{xsl:template match="/")

(html)
(body)
This is a reg mark: ®(br /)
This is a copy mark: ©(br /)
(/body)
(/html)

(/xsl:template)
(/xsl:stylesheet)

The output is:
This is a reg mark:®
This is a copy mark:©

Hi Manny,
the  character is the first char of a multi-byte character in the UTF-8=
charset; IE shows it because it assumes that the output data is in the
Latin charset, missing a "meta" tag carrying such a info.

To generate a valid HTML page, you should:
1) add a "head" element between the "html" and "body" elements
2) specify an encoding in the xsl:output directive

Hope this helps,
Alberto
